Source of tainted tomatoes in salmonella outbreak still unknown
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English

ATLANTA - Supermarkets and fast-food chains that threw out tomatoes suspected in a salmonella outbreak were acting aggressively to protect their customers' health and avoid a consumer backlash, experts say, possibly because of past experiences over food-safety incidents. (article 3) Van Kampen's Greenhouse in Charlottetown is reporting higher sales as restaurant chains across North America pull fresh tomatoes from their menus after reports of salmonella poisoning. (article 18) If consumers stop buying tomatoes, the state's tomato industry could lose more than $40 million, said Doug Archer (article 15) Frustrated tomato growers said consumers overwhelmingly took the warning as a sign to stay away from all tomatoes, causing many retailers and restaurants to cancel orders for the fruit. (article 12) CHICAGO - Federal officials hunted for the source of a 17-state salmonella outbreak linked to three types of raw tomatoes, while the list of supermarkets and restaurants yanking those varieties from shelves and menus grew. (article 7) Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold with the vine still attached and homegrown tomatoes are likely not the source of the outbreak, federal officials said. (article 7)
