Alderman Farms Recalls Salmonella Tomatoes

Alderman Farms Sales Corporation has announced it is recalling one pint containers of Certified Organic Cherry Tomatoes because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. An Alderman Farms’ wholesale customer in Florida purchased 10 cartons containing 12 one-pint containers of the affected cherry tomatoes on 5/22/13. There were no other cherry tomatoes sold from this lot.

The sample of lot number 13269 found the cherry tomatoes to be contaminated with Salmonella. Alderman Farms is investigating the source of the contamination. Alderman Farms conducted an independent test on the above mentioned lot and it was found to be negative of Salmonella. No illnesses have been associated with the product.
