My tomato plants have white,veins on the leaves.

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on Oct 01, 2013That is Leaf Miner. Remove the affected leaves to control break out. They are difficult to kill because it is IN the leaf and hard to get to with a contact spray, and most systemics are not something you would be able to harvest the fruit afterwards. If it takes over the whole tomato I advise disposing of the entire plant in a plastic bag so that you don't have them spread to other plants in your landscape or garden.Helpful Reply

Coco Tree Service Corp on Oct 03, 2013Not a very good picture but I think you have an infection of Leaf miner. No need to worry about the fruit being contaminated. if it is only a few leaves pinch them off and dispose of them well away from the plants. If it is a major infection then the plant may be too weak to set fruit.Helpful Reply
