A new recall in North Carolina is impacting one of the most popular grocery store purchases in the country.
Williams Farms Repack LLC has recalled several sizes of tomatoes in both the Williams Farms Repack label and the H&C Farms Label over a possible Salmonella contamination, according to a recall notice shared May 2 by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The products were distributed between April 23 and April 28, 2025, and sold to wholesalers and distributors in select states: Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. For a full list of affected products and lot codes, visit the FDA's website.
According to the FDA, Salmonella can potentially cause "serious and sometimes fatal infections" in high risk groups like young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain and can, in rare circumstances, lead to more "severe illnesses" like endocarditis.
There have been no illnesses reported in connection to the product as of May 2. Anyone who purchased the now-recalled products is warned not to eat them and to either throw them out or return the tomatoes to the place of purchase for a full refund.
