SelectPlusFDA Looks Beyond Tomatoes for Salmonella CauseFDA Looks Beyond Tomatoes for Salmonella CauseThe Associated PressCilantro, Serrano peppers and jalapenos are among the types of fresh produce investigators are checking in addition to tomatoes as they search for the cause of a salmonella outbreak. (July 6)The Food and Drug administration has expanded the list of foods it's looking into as possible culprits in a salmonella outbreak that has sickened nearly 950 Americans. At least 130 people have been hospitalized. Tomatoes have been the prime suspect in the outbreak that began over a month ago. FDA investigators aren't saying what other vegetables they're looking at, but officials do say they're looking at items that are regularly served with fresh tomatoes.That includes serrano peppers.. Jalapenos.... And salsa. Fresh quacamole is also on the list. Some patients have told the Centers for Disease Control that they ate raw tomatoes in fresh salsa and quacamole.The FDA says there are several possible reasons for the outbreak. The produce could have shared a common shipping or packaging site. Multiple foods could have been contaminated while growing at adjoining farms. They might have also been tainted by a common water source.The government has expanded its search because people continue to get sick, even after the initial warnings that tomatoes were the source of the salmonella outbreak. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Jul 7, 2008 - This is strange I haven't heard of this happening any where else, but the U.S. you would think if it was imported people in Canada or Mexico would also be affected so far I've only heard of Americans getting sick? This will definitely raise prices.
