The source is rather weak (a general interest article) and this makes little sense. Many foods are acidic. Eg apples, which they would presumably have had access to. Seems very unlikely that tomatoes would have had this reaction where many other foods wouldn't - or would have had in equal measure. Suggest removal of the pewter plate claim.
Tomatoes were linked to seven Salmonella outbreaks between 1990 and 2005,[102] and may have been the cause of a salmonellosis outbreak causing 172 illnesses in 18 US states in 2006.[103]
But tomatoes can't cause salmonella - the cause of salmonella is a bacteria. Valgrus Thunderaxe ( talk) 06:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
Recommendation: Change the redirect attached to "Tomato varieties" from "Tomato" to "List of tomato cultivars"
Issue: When searching within pages for "tomato varieties" the first item on the list of results is "there is a page named 'Tomato varieties' on Wikipedia." When this link is selected the system redirects to the page named "Tomato" where there is no list of varieties. If the "tomato varieties" link in the redirect pop-up is selected the reader arrives at a page that has been decommissioned.
Another item on the list of results is "List of tomato cultivars." (I doubt the average reader knows what "cultivars" means: it is a botanical term, per Oxford Languages, "a plant variety that has been produced in cultivation by selective breeding.")
At the top of the page is the statement "There are more than 10'000 tomato varieties available."
The first section is named "Table of Tomatoes" and contains a list of varieties of tomato and pertinent stats. HMile ( talk) 19:17, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Under the "Records"subheading the article states, "As of 2008, the heaviest tomato harvested weighed 3.51 kg (7 lb 12 oz), was of the cultivar "Delicious", and was grown by Gordon Graham of Edmond, Oklahoma in 1986."

I want to change the botany section of an article on tomatoes providing a new information. Genetics and genetic modification, tomatoes contain more chromosomes than humans. [1] Superman12345678910 ( talk) 14:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
