The tomato recall has been upgraded to Class I by the United States Food and Drug Administration, denoting that it has the highest possibility of serious adverse health consequences or death. This is an urgent announcement because possible Salmonella contamination poses a health risk to consumers.
Tomato Recall: Check Yours
The tomato recall is for specific products that were from Williams Farms Repack and H&C Farms. These tomatoes, available in several sizes, were delivered in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina between April 23 and April 28, 2025. Lot code examples include: R4467 and R4470. Ray and Mascari Incorporated also recalls four-count “vine ripe tomatoes” forwarded to Gordon Food Service in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Consumers must check the official FDA website for a complete list and identification codes of affected products.

Salmonella Danger: Act Fast
Salmonella infections can produce serious foodborne illnesses with fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain among the symptoms. Although many otherwise healthy adults make full recoveries, it can spell serious trouble for young children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems, as it can be potentially fatal. This bacterium is tough: it can survive for weeks on dry surfaces and for months when wet or frozen. Tomatoes should be disposed of immediately when recalled. Awareness of salmonellosis symptoms is necessary for early detection and treatment.
Stay Safe Now
The FDA recommends that any tomato recall products be thrown away. They could have harmful bacteria inside, even if they seem perfect. Do not try cooking or treating the tomatoes; this may not remove all risk. Most likely, throw them away if unsure where they came from. Ensure that you consult the various resources of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more food safety recommendations.
