A woman in El Paso County is recovering from salmonella poisoning, Colorado’s third case since the nationwide outbreak caused by tomatoes.
Since the outbreak in April, more than 552 people people have contracted the illness, 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.
