Two new cases of illness linked to salmonella-tainted tomatoes have been reported in Colorado.

A woman in El Paso County has recovered from salmonellosis. Another case has been confirmed in Denver. The state has reported four instances of illness since the nationwide outbreak in April.

More than 552 people have contracted the illness by eating tainted tomatoes, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA said consumers must avoid raw red Roma, red plum and red round tomatoes. Cherry or grape tomatoes, those sold with the vine attached, or those grown at home are safe to eat.

Salmonella can be fatal. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
