TALLAHASSEE - A Southwest Florida man is the state's first victim of the salmonella outbreak tied to raw tomatoes.
State Health Department officials say the unidentified man got sick after eating tomatoes during a visit to New York.
Health Department spokeswoman Judi Spann said Friday that this is the only case in Florida so far. Officials are barred from providing information about the case, including the man's condition.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is searching for the source of the salmonella, but Florida tomatoes have been cleared.
