The FDA revealed that Ray & Mascari Inc. was informed by Hanshaw & Caping Farms in Florida about possible contamination at its facility. These tomatoes were sold in plastic clamshell packaging labeled "Packed by Ray & Mascari Inc."

What Are the Health Risks?

Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Vulnerable populations, such as young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems, face higher risks of severe complications. The FDA strongly advises consumers to discard the tomatoes or return unopened packages.
