Tracking the Tomatoes

The FDA has alerted consumers that a salmonellosis outbreak appears to be linked to consumption of certain types of raw red tomatoes and products containing raw red tomatoes (such as fresh salsa, guacamole and pico de gallo). Preliminary reports say that Roma, plum and round red tomatoes from specific areas of the country may be the culprit. As a precaution, many restaurants and grocery stores have removed these tomatoes from their menus and inventories.

The FDA recommends that consumers limit their tomato consumption to cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and tomatoes sold with the vine attached. The news was reported by the Washington Post and HealthDay.

I'm questioning how safe is the ketchup, pasta/spaghetti tomato sauce, and the tomato paste used in pizzas? How'd pizza shops survive, Italian restaurants stay open, if, consumers now reject "everything-tomato" all together?

Are the tomato juice and canned tomatoes plus other related products not mentioned here already on shelves in the supermarkets/convenient stores okay? Food manufacturers never print on their product labels where, how and when they get their tomatoes.
