Three different companies' products have been pulled from shelves in the past four days due to concerns about salmonella contamination.
Why It Matters
Salmonella causes symptoms from diarrhea and fever to severe, sometimes life-threatening infections in vulnerable groups. U.S. consumers are being urged to thoroughly inspect their deli, salad, and produce purchases, as healthy individuals are at risk.
The widespread nature of both the distribution and consumption of these products underscores the importance of rapid response and cross-state coordination to contain foodborne outbreaks and protect public health.

What People Are Saying
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Friday: "If you have cucumbers at home and can't tell where they are from, throw them away. When eating out over the next week, ask if cucumbers were from Bedner Growers or Fresh Start Produce Sales Inc. Wash surfaces and items that may have touched the cucumbers using hot soapy water or a dishwasher."
What Happens Next
The FDA and CDC are continuing their investigations into the salmonella outbreak and monitoring any potential rise in illnesses. Companies are advising further product checks and reinforced sanitation in distribution channels.
Consumers, retailers, and wholesalers were directed not to return affected items; instead, they were told to destroy or discard them. Each manufacturer set up consumer hotlines and email contacts for inquiries related to the recall.
All companies involved have stated they are cooperating with the FDA and other health officials to address public safety concerns.

RFK Jr. has ordered a review of baby formula. Here's what you should know.
About three-quarters of U.S. infants consume formula during the first six months of life, with about 40% receiving it as their only source of nutrition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Advertisement Formula has been widely used in the U.S. for roughly six decades, feeding generations of infants who have flourished, said Dr. Steven Abrams, a University of Texas infant nutrition expert. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The broader scientific community has been calling for a reevaluation of infant formula for years and is 'fully supportive of this idea of a comprehensive look,' he said. Current formula products in the U.S. continue to be safe and nourishing, he said. 'But there's been a lot of science and we want the FDA rules to align with the most recent science from around the world,' he said. Here's what you need to know about Operation Stork Speed: What is infant formula and why do so many babies consume it? Infant formula is a manufactured product, usually made from cow's milk or soy, that is intended to mimic human breast milk for kids up age 12 months. It may be the sole source of nutrition or supplement breastfeeding. Advertisement FDA regulations require that infant formulas contain 30 specific nutrients, with minimum levels for all and maximum levels for 10 of them. The ingredients vary, but all formulas must have a balance of calories from protein, carbohydrates and fat that mirrors what's found in human milk. Federal guidelines recommend that babies be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life and that parents continue breastfeeding for the first year or more while adding new foods to the child's diet. Parents use formula when a mother cannot or chooses not to breastfeed for a wide range of reasons, including medical conditions, work conflicts, to allow other family members to help with feedings and other situations. Why is the government reviewing baby formula now? Kennedy announced the review of infant formula in March as part of his 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda for the U.S. food supply. The FDA's review will include increased testing for heavy metals and other contaminants as well as a review of nutrients, the agencies said. U.S. health officials will hold a two-hour roundtable discussion of infant formula on Wednesday. What issues will that cover? The FDA is asking for new scientific data and information about whether required ingredients in infant formula should be added, removed or changed. The deadline for comments is Sept. 11. Scientists say a review is long overdue regarding the most recent data on the composition of human milk and how babies digest and absorb nutrients in breastmilk and formula. In addition, they want the FDA to consider how U.S. formulas compare with those made elsewhere, said Bridget Young, who studies infant nutrition at the University of Rochester. Advertisement 'How do our regulations differ?' she said. 'Maybe it's time for them to relook at their regulations and consider potential international harmonization.' More international alignment might have eased the U.S. infant formula crisis in 2022, when contamination shut down an Abbott factory, leading to monthslong shortages for American parents, Young said. What about specific ingredients? In recent years, some parents have sought out infant formula made in Europe with the belief that products made overseas are healthier options, experts said. Formula regulations in the U.S. and Europe, including requirements for nutrients and testing, differ somewhat, but are generally similar, Abrams said. 'The differences between the U.S. and Europe should not be considered as 'higher' or 'better' or 'greater' in one vs. the other,' he said. Still, iron, for instance, is included at higher levels in U.S. formulas than in those in Europe — and Abrams suggested that U.S. officials may consider lowering iron targets. Other components have been added to formula in recent years. They include docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid, and human milk oligosaccharides, complex sugars that are found breast milk but not in cow's milk. Although they may be beneficial, they are not required. 'These have been added to some formulas, but not to other formulas, so we want to take a look,' Abrams explained. Many parents have raised concerns over formula ingredients such as added sugars and seed oils, which are also being targeted by Kennedy as hazards in the wider food supply. Recent research suggests that added sugars such as glucose and corn syrup solids in infant formula may be linked to weight gain in children. Young said that most experts agree that lactose, the primary type of sugar found in breast milk, is preferred. Advertisement Infant formulas in the U.S. do contain seed oils, Young said. But that's because there are a finite number of vegetable oils that provide the essential saturated and unsaturated fats that babies require. 'They need to provide the variety of fatty acids that you see in breast milk,' she said. What are the next steps? Done properly, the FDA's infant formula review would take 'at least a year,' Abrams said. And it will require broad input from multiple government agencies, formula manufacturers and consumers. 'No shortcuts are possible and no one review, white paper or even committee report will suffice to do it right,' he said.

FDA issues highest warning for tomatoes with salmonella contamination. What to know
The Food and Drug Administration has issued its most severe warning for fresh tomatoes sold in some states. A Class I recall was issued for tomatoes for potential salmonella contamination. A Class I recall is issued if there is a potential for serious health complications or death. Williams Farms Repack of South Carolina said the tomatoes were sold to wholesalers and distributors between April 23-28 under the name H&C Farms Label. Here's what you should know. Williams Farms Repack LLC announced on May 2 it was recalling tomatoes under the both the Williams Farm Repack label and the H&C Farms label for potential salmonella contamination. On May 28, the FDA classified the recall as Class I. The tomatoes were sold in three states: Georgia North Carolina South Carolina If you shop outside of Florida, or purchased tomatoes during a recent visit, check the following information to see if you have any of the recalled tomatoes. Recalled tomatoes, by size and lot code, are: 5x6, 25 pounds; R4467 6x6, 25 pounds; R4467, R4470 Combo 25 pounds; R4467 4x4 2 layer; R4467 4x5 2 layer; R4467 60 count 2 layer; R4467 60 count 18 pounds loose; R4467, R4470 XL 18 pounds loose; R4467 3-count trays; R4467 (UPC 0 33383 65504 8) Consumers who purchased the recalled tomatoes are urged to not eat them. Return them to where you bought them for a full refund or throw them away. Consumers with questions should contact Jason Breland at 843-866-7707 or 843-599-5154 Monday through Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. ET. No illnesses have been reported to date, according to the FDA. The FDA has classified the recall as a Level 1. A Level 1 — also called a Class 1 — recall is "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," the FDA said. "Salmonella are bacteria that make people sick," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Contaminated food is the source for most of these illnesses. Children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness. Pregnant women are also at higher risk of developing an infection from it and should seek medical attention if symptoms arise. Salmonella bacteria cause "about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the United States every year," the CDC said. Freezing and drying do not kill salmonella, the FDA said. Cooking will kill bacteria, including salmonella, but you'll need to use a food thermometer to make sure the temperature gets between 145 and 165 degrees, depending on what you're cooking. Be careful of all surfaces and your hands to prevent cross-contamination. ➤ Safe food temperature chart Salmonella can make people ill with diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, which can last from four days up to a week. Symptoms usually begin six hours to six days after infection, the CDC said. Most cases of salmonella infections pass, but some people may need to be hospitalized. Symptoms include: Feeling dizzy when standing up Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102 degrees Diarrhea for more than 3 days that is not improving Bloody diarrhea So much vomiting that you cannot keep liquids down Signs of dehydration, such as: Not urinating much Dry mouth and throat This article originally appeared on Florida Times-Union: Tomato recall: FDA Class I warning, salmonella contamination
