So I was right! Cut into tomatoes DO need to be put in the fridge.

That's just common sense. Did someone tell you otherwise?

Yes. I got into a big argument over it on a food forum where I was told
refrigeration was never necessary for fruits and vegetables. One woman said
she grew up in a house that had no fridge and she never got sick from it. I
posted links to sites telling how to store food, but they kept telling me I
was wrong. The one person said when she cut into a tomato, she just put it
cut side down on a plate and left it sitting out on the counter for days.

Some were claiming that only cooked fruits and vegetables needed
refrigeration. I said once the natural state had been altered, they always
needed to be put in the fridge. And I still contend that some things like
greens need to be put in the fridge to start with!

i try and not cool anything until as you say its been altered. having said
that the only reason this woman probably didn't get sick is either because
her bug tolerance had built up from this practice, or the food never lasted
that long... it seems to me that a cut tomato or anything else with juice
for that matter would draw flies... yuck, Lee

I agree, and people who tell anecdotes about how they "never got sick" were
just lucky. I could also talk about things that I did as a child that
"could" have caused injuries...but I would not use that as evidence that we
were using good judgment simply because we avoided injuries. For example,
we saw old cowboy movies where a rider would hang underneath the horse while
it was running. We went home and tried the same stunt. We were young,
stupid, and lucky--we didn't know those were trick riders. But those tales
about how someone "never got sick" remind me of that type of incident.

or they did get sick, but called it a cold or flu never connecting it with
the food, Lee

A lot of what you do with regard to refrigeration has to do with the
natural temperature and humidity inside your house. You can leave a lot
more stuff out on the counter if the temperature in your kitchen is 62°
than if it's 80°.

I tried leaving fruit out here. Not only did it spoil quickly but we got
fruit flies. Oddly on Cape Cod where it was a lot hotter and more humid,
the fruit didn't spoil and I never got any fruit flies.

Depends on where you live , I live in a sub tropical zone without
refrigeration most veg and fruit here wouldn't last long.

Thanks for the link, also I was reading this in the paper today:

"Leafy greens, tomatoes and berries: They're packed with vitamins and
showcased by nutritionists as healthful foods that Americans should eat
regularly.

They are also among the 10 foods most likely to make you sick, according to
a nonprofit research group's analysis.

Researchers analyzed federal data collected since 1990 to identify the foods
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration that caused the largest
numbers of foodborne-illness outbreaks. The 10 riskiest foods were, in
descending order: leafy greens, eggs, tuna, oysters, potatoes, cheese, ice
cream, tomatoes, sprouts and berries.

"These are the products that people are eating every single day and, in some
cases, people eat many of them in one day," said Sarah Klein, a staff
attorney at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which conducted
the study. "One big shame is that so many of these products are healthy for
us. Consumers can't and shouldn't avoid these foods. And that's the problem.
Consumers can only do so much to make sure they're not getting sick. That's
why we need the food industry and the FDA to make sure these products are
arriving in our homes and our restaurants in a way that's safe for
consumers."

The foods flagged in the report were contaminated by bacteria, from E.coli
O157:H7 in spinach to scombrotoxin in tuna. People who ate the contaminated
foods suffered a range of illnesses, from mild stomach cramps to death."

wow, i never eat oysters and rarely eat ice-cream or tuna but i could live
on the rest of that list, its a wonder i am not dead already... well i
almost kicked it once from food born illness from a chicken leg, but both DH
and i have been through food sanitation class so we are extremely careful,
the illness i had combined with the classes is a sure way to insure careful
food handling, Lee
