I think the questions {county educators} are likely to get asked are things such as what types of tomatoes are involved, so which ones can I eat, what is salmonella, what are the symptoms, etc.
This FDA website is good and answers most things. http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html
For more information on Salmonella (in general, not the specific saintpaul strain) go to the bad bug book and look under Salmonella: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~mow/intro.html
If there are more specific things I will be happy to help, but in general I think these two sites are good. CDC also has some good information.
I do want to specifically mention that home grown tomatoes grown in home gardens are not implicated.
Hope this helps.
