Answers:
I would toss them out! Check on the package to see where they are from, I checked mine and they are from Canada and so they are ok to eat!.

Because you live in an area of known outbreaks I personally wouldn't take any chances!. However there is a listing of the States that produce tomatoes that are "not" dangerous to eat!. It's not where you purchased them, instead it's where they were grown!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
The only tomatoes that are safe as of right now are tomatoes on the vine!. You can get them at your local supermarket although they are a bit more expensive they are safe!. And the tainted ones are popping up everywhere through out the U!.S!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you ate tomatoes two weeks ago, it is highly unlikely you would be sick now!. You get sick within 24 hours after ingesting tainted foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
