AUSTIN, TX -- Tomatoes linked to a Salmonella outbreak in Texas and
New Mexico were not grown in Texas, state and federal officials said
Friday.

Texas state agriculture officials said Texas was one of 12 states or
countries eliminated by the federal Food and Drug Administration as a
possible source of the tainted tomatoes.

The illness so far has caused more than 50 people in Texas and New
Mexico to become ill since the outbreak started in April.

As they work to determine the source, health officials are advising
that people not eat any raw Roma or full-sized round tomatoes other
than those sold attached to the vine or grown at home.

What was mad about the problem was when the stores pulled their 50 cents a
pound tomatoes off the shelves, they replaced with $2 a pound tomatoes.
