I'm almost as fed up (pun intended) with writing about food recalls as I am learning about them. Some good news on the food front would really be nice, but I'm afraid that with 238 people reportedly sickened with salmonella from contaminated tomatoes there is none this week.
That 238 doesn't sound like very many but using the Center for Disease Control estimates - only one in 30 cases of salmonella poisoning is reported - you can figure over 7,000 people got sick.
