I think if you bought the tomatoes from a regular grocery store you're pretty safe!. It's mostly the wholesale tomatoes that went to restaurants that has the problems!.

But if you think your tomatoes might be contaminated, the best thing to do is throw them away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you cooked them into tomato sauce they should be OK!. Not sure if quick stir frying would be enough!. There is salmonella on most chicken and some eggs and it's only a problem they they are undercooked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well from what I heard on Fox News sometimes you can just wash them, but lots of times the salmonella is inside the tomatoWww@FoodAQ@Com

What salmonella problem!? I have never heard of any vege's having that, only eggs!. I doubt they are safe to eat if that is true!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They're all fine now!. You should see them in groceries & restaurants again!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
