yummy tomatoes
In my short 28 years I can't remember a time when fast food joints, and restaurants pulled a product for health reasons, and now its happened twice within a year (spinach and tomatoes). What the hell is going on? Are the american people so flaky that they jump on the fear band wagon and pull products across the nation, or has the efficiency machine reduced the standard of care to a point where we are one janitorial sneeze away from a national outbreak of the plague.
How you compare may not be as important as to whom you are compared
litigation, it made a politicians out of Edwards, Obama, Hillary well you get the idea- because the government has its hands all over things it has no business or legality doing it is incapable of doing the things it is actually chartered to do- it started with the dems and has been expanded by Bush's idiocy- Vote the bums out-all of them with NO exceptions

Grow your own!!! cheaper, better, and bigger!!
besides who knows how many times this has happened in the past and it got no coverage because folks did not run out and sue as L K Day pointed out. Mass hystaria and ignorance coupled with greedy folks and lawyers, bad combo.
how good is mass quality control?

yeah, I was heading down to the gorge with a friend and told him the tomato scare was utter bullshit. He was not buying my opinion. 
I did not buy the spinach scare either.
The problem is not litigation; it is that people are just scared out of their minds. Consider the odds.
167 cases. there are 301,139,947 in the USA. 23 cases resulted in hospitalization with zero deaths. The odds that you get Salmonella from Tomatoes are vanishingly small--less than 1 in 10 million.

Of the 167 cases reported, 23 have resulted in hospitalization.
Health officials in Texas investigated the death of a man who had been infected with Salmonella Saintpaul but ruled that the cause of death was cancer, according to the Houston Department of Health and Human Services.
Ian Williams, chief of the CDC's OutbreakNet Team, said one of the interesting features about the scare was that it has not been associated with any specific restaurants or grocery stores.
The outbreak -- linked to raw plum, Roma and round tomatoes -- has hit the $1.28 billion U.S. tomato market hard.
