A Note About Grape Tomatoes There have been a lot of recalls recently regarding grape tomatoes with possible salmonella contamination. While I attempt to list as many food product recalls as I can, based on what foods I consider children to eat, please be aware that it would be almost impossible for me to list them all. In regards to the grape tomato recalls, please remember that any foods or dishes made with grape tomatoes could also be contaminated.
