    "TRACY, Calif. — A Florida tomato grower is voluntarily recalling its grape tomatoes after a sample tested positive for salmonella.

    Six L's Packing Company Inc. said in a statement that no illnesses had been reported in connection to the recall as of April 29.

    The Immokalee, Fla.-based company says the recalled product was packed on April 11 under the Cherry Berry lot code DW-H in clam shells or 20-pound cardboard containers. The tomatoes were distributed to California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia, as well as Canada.

    The contamination was found by a U.S. Department of Agriculture inspector at a New York distributor, according to Six L's. The tomatoes originated from a farm in Estero, Fla.

    The tomatoes also were used in deli salads made by Tracy-based Taylor Farms Pacific Inc., which also recalled products Monday.

    The salads were sold in plastic trays and at deli counters in Albertsons, Raley's, Safeway, Savemart, Sam's Club and Walmart stores across the West and some Midwestern states.

    The affected states are Arizona, Oregon, California, Nevada, Washington, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah."
     
  4. From the same source, republicans are rekindling that old populist saying " a chicken in every pot" the chicken will be
    tainted with salmonella but its in there.




    Also, a new player in the chicken industry will be competing with
    Tyson and Perdue. They're major republican campaign contributors and all their products will be stamped "Caveat Emptor"
     
  5. As far as Republicans are concerned, "Caveat Emptor" can also loosely mean "Cabinets Empty" for the lower socioeconomic classes.
