WASHINGTON (AP) - Food and Drug Administration inspectors are
heading for farms in Florida and Mexico, as new clues emerge to the
possible source of salmonella-tainted tomatoes that have now
sickened 552 people.
The FDA wouldn't say where in Florida and Mexico the hunt is
centering. But officials stressed the clues don't mean that a
particular farm will turn out to be the culprit.
Investigators will pay special attention to big packing houses
or distribution warehouses that enough tomatoes from those farms
may have traveled through to account for what appears to be the
nation's largest-ever salmonella outbreak from tomatoes.
