I've never heard of anyone getting sick from it but it's definitely too sharp for my tastes. My ex-mother-in-law told me 'nothing goes bad in my fridge' meaning she'll drink anything regardless of recommended shelf life but she adds a lot of milk and sugar to my cold brew.
My general rule of thumb is about 25 to 30 days for small and cherry tomatoes and 45 to 60 days for large tomatoes, BUT, it varies based on a lot of factors such as variety, temperature, sun exposure, rain/cloudiness, size of the plant and how many tomatoes the plant is producing.
Extended and Super-Sized Tomatoes. Extra-large tomato varieties were bred for their fruit size. Tomatoes can grow to 1 1/2 to 3 pounds in weight. These plants have an average production time of about 80 to 85 days, and include the Beefsteak, Shuntukski Velikan and Neves Azorean Red.omato Growth Factors: Varieties. There are a few factors that determine the length of time it takes for a tomato to grow, and the breed of the tomato is the first and most important of these.
