, Ray & Mascari Inc. is recalling “four-count Vine Ripe Tomatoes” because of the “possible health risk.”

The FDA published notice of the recall on May 3, 2025.

The recalled tomatoes “were sold by Gordon Food Service Stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin,” the FDA noted, adding that people should not consume the product.

Ray & Mascari Inc. of Indianapolis, Indiana, “is recalling 4 Count Vine Ripe Tomatoes packaged in clamshell containers [20 oz.

The FDA continued: “Ray & Mascari Inc. was notified by Hanshaw & Capling Farms of Immokalee, Florida that they were recalling the lot of tomatoes Ray & Mascari Inc. received and repacked into 4 Count Vine Ripe Tomatoes.”

“Hanshaw & Capling Farms initiated the recall due to the possible presence of Salmonella in their facility. Customers who received the recalled lots have been notified and provided information to further contact their customers and distribution centers with recall instructions,” wrote the FDA.
