Recall! Salmonella In Grape Tomatoes

Remember to eat you five servings per day.

FDA announced a recall of grape tomatoes from Front Row Produce of St. Louis MO. The 10oz pint and 10lb bulk grape tomatoes supplied by Rio Queen Citrus, Mission TX, have been recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.

Salmonella, is a bacterium which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Good luck.
