A search and seasoning operation is currently underway, with teams of basil, oregano, and garlic combing the area for any signs of the missing tomato. The operation is being led by the renowned chef, Mario Batali, who expressed his concern for the tomato's safety.

"This is a tragedy for the culinary world," said Batali. "That tomato was a true pioneer, always willing to explore new flavors and textures. We must find it before it's too late."
