Easy Recipes From The Garden

The Food and Drug Administration has lifted its ban on tomatoes weeks after the fruits were said to be linked to the Salmonella Saintpaul, which sickened more than 1,200 people.

The FDA said it has determined that fresh tomatoes now available in the domestic market are not associated with the current outbreak. However, it is continuing to follow epidemiological and other evidence showing that raw jalapeño and serrano peppers available in stores now may be linked to the outbreak. People who are considered to be high risk — elderly persons, infants and people with impaired immune systems — should refrain from eating raw jalapeño and raw serrano peppers at this time.
