McDonald’s restaurants has made the decision to discontinue serving fresh tomatoes due to the risks posed by the recent salmonella outbreak across the United States. People in 16 states have become sick after eating uncooked tomatoes which contained salmonella, 23 were hospitalized.
Even here in Canada McDonald’s has stopped using uncooked tomatoes and has posted written notifications to let customers know of the change.
The FDA is advising those living in the United States to limit their tomato consumption until more information is known on this particular outbreak. You can visit the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention website for tips on how to reduce the risk of contracting salmonella and for important information regarding current tomato recalls.
