Well since no news media is announcing where it was grown I would bet my house it was Mexico.

Uh, it's being reported that it was grown in Texas and New Mexico.

RE: "Uh, it's being reported that it was grown in Texas and New Mexico."

"Some of the first cases appeared in New Mexico, which announced an investigation May 23. About that time, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta connected the New Mexico cases to two cases in Texas. . . ."

Nothing about being connected as possible sources according to this MSM report. The Texas/New Mexico cases were connected by similarities of the problem.

The article goes on to say

Among safe tomatoes are "tomatoes grown in Arkansas, California, Georgia, Hawaii, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Puerto Rico. The FDA also cleared tomatoes from Belgium, Canada, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Israel and Netherlands."

Florida and Mexico are both omitted from that list. The article did not explain why except to say that Florida has had problems in the past and there was no mention of Mexico in the article at all. I say that proves that the source is known to be Mexico -- that of course is IMHO.
