Garden Fresh Tomatoes (photo by Robb Kiser, courtesy of morguefile.com)

“The FDA continues to try to figure out where the contaminated produce came from, while more people get sick. FedEx can track every package. But we can't track tainted food, so everyone in America has to worry about summer tomatoes.”

The message above came from Minerva Novoa of the Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports. Her message urges everyone who wants a healthier and more sustainable food system to, “Tell Congress to pass real food safety reform now! “

The folks at Consumer Union pose a good question:"Americans have suffered and died from tainted spinach, hamburger and peanut butter. Now, salmonella-laced tomatoes are sending others to the hospital. How did grocery shopping become a game of Russian roulette?"

To tell your representatives in Congress that you want food safety reform go to: Not in My Food!
