Tomato Recall Upgraded to Most Serious Level as FDA Warns of ‘Deadly’ Salmonella

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has upgraded a recall of tomatoes sold in three southern states to a Class I recall, the most serious level, because the tomatoes may be contaminated with salmonella.

A Class I recall refers to “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” per the FDA.

The FDA hasn’t received any reports of illness tied to this recall to date.

Williams Farms Repack distributed the tomatoes to wholesalers and distributors in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina between April 23 and 28, 2025. Consumers would have been able to buy the slicer tomatoes loose by the pound or in three-tomato packs.
