On April 29, Williams Farms Repack was notified by Southeast Tomato Distributors that the tomatoes supplied from H&C Farms may be contaminated with Salmonella, according to the FDA.

The recalled tomatoes vary in size and have either Williams Farms Repack or H&C Farms labels on them. No illnesses have been reported to date, the FDA said.

What to do with the recalled tomatoes?

The FDA is urging anyone who bought the recalled tomatoes not to consume the products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund, or they can just discard the affected item.

What are the effects of salmonella infection?

Salmonella is an organism that can “cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” according to the FDA.

Healthy people infected with salmonella usually experience several symptoms, such as fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, the federal agency said. In rare cases, salmonella can get into the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses like arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
