My market had very good tomatoes, the kind with three or four attached by a stem, on sale for 78 cents/pound yesterday. My news shows say tomatoes with stems are OK. I eat a tomato every day and will continue. I use a spray-on veggie cleaner that removes a ton of greenish stuff from the skins, then rinse with warm water, dry and put them in fridge.

All of which our local health department recommends.

Washing tomatoes well should take care of the salmonella problem. However, your tomatoes will have much better flavor if you don’t refrigerate them. Even cut tomatoes can be kept overnight, cut side down on a plate, unrefrigerated.
