...Italian press, never renowned for its restraint, tackled the story with gusto. Turin's La Stampa carried a headline about "poison salad on the table." Public fears grew when one newspaper erroneously reported that infant mortality was widespread in the tomato-growing area. Although the Italian government gave the crop a clean bill of health, public uncertainty lingers. Francesco De Lorenzo, Under Secretary of the Ministry of Health, declared that the state had tested the samples with procedures identical to those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and had found no traces of the pesticide above .05 parts...
