New York grown tomatoes were deemed safe to eat Tuesday.

The State Department of Agriculture says local tomatoes are not linked to the salmonella outbreak.

The FDA says uncooked red plum, red Roma, and round red tomatoes grown in other states may still be unsafe to eat. But cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold attached to the vine and homegrown tomatoes are okay.

Before going out and buying tomatoes, the FDA suggests checking out its list of states and countries not linked to the outbreak. A list is available online at www.CDC.gov.
