Has FDA conducted outreach/education activities regarding tomato safety?
The FDA has issued a press release to notify the public of the current Salmonella outbreak in tomatoes; the press release will be updated as information continues to be obtained and evaluated. In addition, FDA has posted consumer and industry (retailer) warnings and advice related to the current Salmonella outbreak on its website. The FDA web site also includes a consumers’ page about safe handling of fresh produce, including tomatoes. In 2006, the FDA issued a publication called Program Information Manual: Retail Food Protection Storage and Handling of Tomatoes for members of the retail industry. Safe-handling guidelines for the tomato-supply industry are nearing completion.
