Summary[edit]

Description

Researchers Tim Muruvanda (left) and Sasha Gorham study the genetic makeup of Salmonella. Tomatoes are vulnerable to contamination by Salmonella, bacteria that are a common cause of foodborne illness. At FDA, there is a group of researchers nicknamed “Team Tomato” that tries to understand and prevent Salmonella contamination early in the tomato production process, working with state extension services, growers, and industry. To learn more about Team Tomato read this Consumer Update "FDA's Team Tomato Fights Contamination."
