AMERICANS have been warned to check their pantries after tomatoes were recalled in 14 states over fears they could lead to a fatal illness.

Two recalls were issued just a day apart and anyone who bought affected products is urged to throw them out and get a refund.

Both recalls were issued due to the risk that the tomatoes could be contaminated with Salmonella.

Williams Farms Repack LLC issued the first recall on May 2 after getting word from its supplier that its tomatoes might be contaminated.

Southeast Tomato Distributors notified the firm on April 29, 2025.

The tomatoes, which came in several sizes, were sold in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina between April 23 and April 28.

The company provided a list of affected products and lot codes to look for on their labels – R4467, R4467, and R4470.

Customers who purchased Williams Farms tomatoes around that timeframe are urged to throw the product away or return it for a refund.

The second alert, issued on May 3, 2025, involved Ray & Mascari Inc. of Indianapolis, Indiana, which recalled 4 Count Vine Ripe Tomatoes.

A recalled product had been distributed across eleven states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

The product was recalled by the produce company because of the “possible presence” of Salmonella detected at Hanshaw & Capling Farms in Immokalee, Florida, as stated in the alert.

The FDA explained, “Salmonella is a bacterium that can lead to serious and sometimes deadly infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.”

“Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.”

‘Contaminated’ drink recalled over ‘toxic substance’ inside – 173k bottles were sold at stores like Walmart and Target

If Salmonella gets into the bloodstream, there is a chance of contracting more serious illnesses like arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.

The product was packaged in a 4-count plastic clamshell container with a “VINE RIPE TOMATOES” label.

The lot codes associated with the Ray & Mascari include RM250424 15250B and RM250427 15250B.

Consumers who purchased the product have been asked to dispose of it immediately.

Although no illnesses have been reported so far, customers who experience symptoms were urged to contact Ray & Mascari Inc.
