Default Spots on Tomatos

DavesVideo said:

As my tomatos ripen, small yellow spots form on the skin, when the tomato is
cut, there are white spots in the flesh.
I supose it is too late to do anything about it, but what has happened? The
cherry tomatos are fine.


Could be stink bug feeding:

Not a worry, if limited/occasional. Otherwise, you need to control the stink bugs.
Nymphs can be controlled with insecticidal soap; adults are much harder to
kill.
