A tomato recall due to concerns of possible contamination with salmonella has affected 14 states.

Two different recalls have been issued by two different companies, who distributed the potentially contaminated tomatoes — which were produced by supplier Hanshaw & Capling Farms, or H&C Farms, which is based in Immokalee, Florida.

The tomatoes were sold primarily in the South and Midwest, as well as New York and Pennsylvania.

The recalls were announced in early May, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website.

Salmonella is a type of bacteria and one of the most common causes of fatal food borne illness in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms of salmonella infection range from nonexistent in some people to diarrhea, fever, stomach pain or serious complications. Most people will recover without treatment, but high-risk groups, such as kids under 5 and the elderly, may experience more severe illness.

Salmonella is typically found in raw meat and seafood, raw or undercooked eggs, unpasteurized dairy products, and fruits and vegetables that are exposed to water with salmonella during irrigation or processing.

No illnesses have been reported so far in connection with either tomato recall. If you have purchased a recalled product, discard it and do not consume it. You can return it to where you purchased it for a full refund or contact the recalling firm for more information.

Here’s what to know about the tomato recalls due to potential salmonella contamination.

The other recall involves tomatoes sold by Ray & Mascari Inc., an Indiana-based tomato supplier. The affected products are packs of four tomatoes sold in plastic clamshell containers with the label “Vine Ripe Tomatoes” that also reads “Packed by Ray & Mascari Inc.” They were sold at Gordon Food Service Stores in 11 states.
