style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Restaurants, fast-food chains and supermarkets
across Southern California removed fresh red Roma, plum and red round tomatoes
from their shelves and took them off their menus this weekend as the U.S.
government warned of a widening outbreak of salmonella.<br>
<br>
The Food and Drug Administration said consumers should avoid raw red plum, red
Roma or round red tomatoes, which have been tied to 145 infections reported
since mid-April.<br>
<br>
Consumers may continue to eat cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold
with the vine still attached and tomatoes grown at home, the FDA statement
said.<br>
<br>
Major supermarket chains including Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons have stopped
selling the three kinds on the FDA list. Other types of tomatoes remained for
sale, said Brian Dowling, a vice president of public affairs for Vons owner
Safeway, based in Pleasanton, Calif. "It's a precaution."<br>
<br>
The Albertsons grocery chain had considered stripping its shelves of all
tomatoes, a produce manager said. "At first they told us we had to pull
everything, but then they narrowed it down," said Justin Peters at the
Albertsons store in Laguna Beach.<br>
<br>
Fast-food chains, including Irvine-based Taco Bell Corp. and Denver-based
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., have also stopped offering tomatoes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
