# Major Recall Alert: Tomatoes Recalled Due to Potential Foodborne Illness - Salmonella
Consumers in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, take note! Tomatoes sold under the H&C Farms label are being recalled due to potential contamination with *Salmonella*. This contamination poses a serious risk of foodborne illness, particularly to young children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. Here’s everything you need to know about this urgent recall and how to keep you and your family safe.
## Why This Recall is Important
*Salmonella* outbreaks are a significant food safety concern across the United States. This bacteria can cause severe gastrointestinal illness and, in rare cases, more critical complications like arterial infections, endocarditis, or arthritis. Symptoms of *Salmonella* poisoning typically include:
- Fever
- Diarrhea (which may be bloody)
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
While healthy individuals often recover within a week, *Salmonella* infections can be life-threatening for vulnerable populations, including children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems.
