Big Red Tomato Packers of Florida is recalling 790 20 and 25-pound boxes of fresh tomatoes because they may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. There are no known illnesses associated with this recall.
The recalled tomatoes are identified as lot 1106 and were distributed to receivers in Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. All receivers of the lot have been notified. A routine random lot sample taken on January 28, 2014 found the bacteria.
If you purchased these tomatoes, do not eat them. Return them to the place of purchase for a refund. The company is reviewing its procedures and policies to fix the problem.
