"Salmonella can be transmitted to humans when fecal material from animals or humans contaminates food. Symptoms are similar to the flu, but the poisoning can be fatal to young children, pregnant women and other people with weakened immune systems."
"Properly cooking meat, poultry and eggs, and washing produce are generally the best methods to prevent illness."

THE MEDIA ONCE AGAIN CREATES A NATIONWIDE PANIC, AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO TOMATOE RECALL, AND ALL THOSE RESTAURANTS PULLING TOMATOES SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED FOR BUYING INTO THIS HYSTERIA. WASH YOUR TOMATOES PEOPLE! STOP THE INSANITY! YOU MIGHT AS WELL PULL ALL PRODUCE OUT OF THE STORES!EVERYTIME YOU GO TO A ROADSIDE STAND OR BUY AMISH YOU BETTER CLEAN YOUR PRODUCE,IF YOU ONLY KNEW ABOUT HOW THAT WAS GROWN.BUY FROM REPUTABLE COMPANIES, NOT JOKERS ALONG THE HIGHWAY!!!

  If the tomato plant absorbed it thru the roots then washing won't help. and I don't know which news you're reading or hearing but I heard on headline news channel that FDA is telling grocers to remove the affected produce from the shelves.
