Trump tomato tariffs threaten free chips and salsa at restaurants

Original: Houston Public Media: Trump tomato tariffs could spell the end of free chips, salsa at restaurants The 17% tariff on Mex

A 17% tariff on Mexican tomato imports imposed under the Trump administration, combined with poor weather in Florida and Mexico, has driven up the cost of salsa ingredients. Houston Public Media reports that restaurants may respond by cutting the complimentary chips and salsa traditionally served to customers, as tomato prices have spiked in recent months.

Why now: Rising tomato prices from new tariffs threaten a beloved free restaurant staple, prompting concern among diners and businesses.
