What other produce is tainted? Here is the list thanks to Nancy Kercheval at Bloomberg!
In addition to tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, Serrano peppers and cilantro were added to the list of possible tainted products, Kwisnek said.
Who is most likely to be infected?
The strain, called salmonella saintpaul, takes two to three weeks to manifest itself, the CDC said. Those afflicted ranged in age from babies to 99 years old. The highest rate of illness has been among people in their 20s, and lowest among people 10 to 19 years old, as well as those 80 or older.
