MIAMI (Reuters) - Florida's tomato industry is in "complete collapse" and $40 million worth of tomatoes will rot unless federal regulators quickly trace the source of a salmonella outbreak and clear the state's produce, an industry official said on Tuesday.
"We probably have $40 million worth of product we can't sell. We've had to stop packing, stop picking," said Reggie Brown, executive vice president of the Florida Tomato Growers Exchange.

"The FDA has said it does not know where the contaminated tomatoes originated."
Speaking of the FDA, would you like some tomatoes in your salad?

perhaps someone up there in official position will honestly and with integrity look at the tomatoes and evaluate whether these tomatoes with salmonella are genetically modified with a fish gene,
after all, Nature and all of living beings deserve the TRUTH........
if these are genetically modified tomatoes....
theres your answer..
Mother Nature has her boundaries for a VERY GOOD REASON,
MOTHER NATURE is for the continuance of LIFE
genetically modified organisms are for the continuance of select organizations and their profits and controls at the expense of the health and balance of this planet and all of its LIVING BEINGS.
