Source of salmonella tanted tomatoes is still unclear

Salmonella contaminated tomatoes have been associated with 228 illnesses in 23 states. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention still does not know the source of the contaminated tomatoes.

I always thought that food produce was tracked and dated in the United States. I guess I was wrong. I just don’t know how the government is unable too determine were these tomatoes came from.

If you think of it this is a national security issue. Imagine If terrorists contaminated imported tomatoes with anthrax or other biological weapon.

Anyway thanks for reading

I've heard that tomatoes

can carry disease like this. I am surprised and saddened, as these are some of my favourite foods.
