Fast food lovers, fear not - the tomato is coming back to your sandwich, taco, and pizza. According to CNN, Wendy's International Inc. began restocking restaurants on Sunday with tomatoes from northern Florida. If your Wendy's doesn't have them, they should be back soon.
CNN also reports that Yum Brands Inc. (the parent company of Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, A&W and Long John Silver's restaurants) is also starting to resupply its restaurants with tomatoes from areas that have been cleared of salmonella risk.
I'm glad to see that this tomato scare is coming to a close.
Are you eating tomatoes again? Did you even stop?

Technically I never stopped but since they aren't quite in season where I live I was eating very few anyway. We did have one occasion to eat raw tomatoes and I stopped and thought for a second but ultimately just ate them anyway. They were hard and tasteless but untainted otherwise. Still out of season tomatoes just aren't worth eating imo.

I used the tomato scare as an excuse to splurge on heirloom tomatoes. It was a good week.
