The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued two separate recalls on tomatoes due to potential Salmonella contamination, impacting consumers in several states, including Georgia. The first recall involves tomatoes from H&C Farms, which the FDA says have tested positive for Salmonella.

These tomatoes were distributed to wholesalers in North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina between April 23rd and April 28th. The second recall affects four-count vine-ripe tomatoes from Ray & Mascari Inc., sold by Gordon Food Service Stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. A complete list of the affected tomatoes can be found on the FDA’s official website. Salmonella infections can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, Salmonella can lead to more serious complications like arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis. The infection can also be fatal for young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

While the FDA has stated that no illnesses have been reported in connection with these recalled tomatoes, they strongly recommend that consumers either discard the potentially contaminated products immediately or return them to the place of purchase if they are unopened.

Consumers with questions or concerns regarding the H&C Farms recall can contact Jason Breland at 843-866-7707 or 843-599-5154 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. EST.

The FDA urges anyone experiencing symptoms of Salmonella infection to seek immediate medical attention.
