In July, seven individuals in four counties (Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, and Oneida) became ill with salmonellosis after consuming sliced tomatoes obtained at restaurants and grocery stores. Individuals who became ill reported diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, cramps, vomiting and fever. The agent was isolated and, using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), was identified as Salmonella Newport, the third most common Salmonella serotype. The implicated restaurants and grocery stores were inspected by the health department. Education regarding the proper handling of produce was provided to staff.
