Lycopene lovers across the country can now heave a sigh of relief. The FDA has announced that it is once again safe to eat all forms and styles of tomatoes. It seems that the unprecedented outbreak of salmonella that swept the country has finally slowed. People are still cautioned to take care when eating hot peppers as they may still be carriers.

I must admit that the FDA’s warning didn’t alter my personal tomato consumption over the last month. Pennsylvania and New Jersey were both cleared of any contamination and so I just took care to only eat local ‘maters. How has the tomato warning effected you? Did you or anyone you know get sick from bad produce?
