Say what?

As a multistate salmonella food poisoning outbreak erupts, the effects have trickled down to the Sunshine State.

TBO.com is reporting that trucks of Florida-grown tomatoes are being turned away after 145 people in 16 states fell ill Monday.

The Burger King at Kennedy and West Shore wasn’t serving tomatoes today.
