The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers nationwide during the weekend to avoid raw red plum, red Roma and round red tomatoes unless they were grown in certain states and countries.
California-grown tomatoes were among those cleared by the FDA. But because many tomatoes - especially those sold in large chain stores - are imported into the state, consumers here are being warned to be cautious to avoid an outbreak that has sickened nearly 150 people nationwide.
FDA officials said they are aggressively trying to track down the source of the outbreak caused by salmonella Saintpaul, a rare form of salmonella.
