Lots of restaurants have pulled them, around my office not a single salad bar had any, but a couple of markets had only grape tomatoes

There have been many stories about why they are completly ignoring the FDA and not bringing any back.

They just don't believe what the FDA is telling them, and the absoulte last thing they want is somebody getting sick from a tomato they served. Burger King, Outback, Taco Bell, and many others have pulled them.

And as one person said, they can't get any from the suppliers, the ones that have been cleared will take some time to make it down the chain.
