CNN has posted a web-only video report follow-up to the Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak, from a tomato producer slant.   There unfortunately isn't an easy way to embed the CNN video here, but click here to see it.

Jimmy Shaffer of the Island Tomato Growers in South Carolina was cited as saying that he plans on maybe filing a lawsuit against the FDA for the way that the investigation has been handled, and that the FDA "threw everybody under a big blanket and let everyone fight for themselves". 

Makes marketing food safety, if you can prove what you are doing, look like a pretty good idea.
