The tomatoes are getting worse.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that the toll from salmonella-tainted tomatoes jumped to 228 illnesses as the government learned of five dozen previously unknown cases and said it is possible the food poisoning contributed to a cancer patient's death.

The CDC found 61 new cases of Salmonella Saintpaul infection in six new states -- Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New York, Tennessee and Vermont.

Infections have now been found in 23 states since mid-April, the CDC said.
Several restaurants and grocery stores removed tomatoes from their inventories after reports of the Salmonella outbreak surfaced. At least 23 cases required hospitalization, the CDC said.
