Tomato Recalls Expand Across 11 States Over Salmonella

Two separate tomato recalls have been issued in the United States due to potential Salmonella contamination. Ray & Mascari Inc. recalled its 4-count vine ripe tomatoes, distributed in clamshell containers through Gordon Food Service Stores in 11 states, after a supplier notified them of possible facility contamination. Williams Farms Repack LLC also recalled various sizes of tomatoes under its own and H&C Farms labels, distributed to wholesalers in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, following a warning from Southeast Tomato Distributors about possible contamination from H&C Farms. Salmonella infection can cause serious illness, particularly in children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. No illnesses have been reported in connection with either recall as of now. Consumers are advised to discard the affected products or return them for a refund and consult FDA recall notices for details.
