WASHNINGTON (1010 WINS) -- Inspectors are collecting soil, water and produce samples, reviewing export logs and combing packing plants in three major tomato-growing states in Mexico.

But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration appears no closer to finding the source of a mysterious salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 900 people nationwide. It's not even certain that tomatoes are the cause.

And, as the FDA continues looking for the source of the salmonella, it is looking at jalapeno peppers and salsa ingredients, such as cilantro and Serrano peppers.

Investigators with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have interviewed people sickened in June to find out what they ate and to compare their diets with those of healthy relatives and neighbors.

Officials have not revealed early findings, except to say they supported the investigation's new move.
