Tomatoes distributed in three southern states are now the subject of a possibly deadly recall, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The recall, first announced by the FDA on May 2 for potential salmonella contamination, has now been upgraded to the most severe warning the federal agency issues.

Williams Farms Repack LLC, based in Lodge, South Carolina, said the affected tomatoes were packaged and sold to wholesalers and distributors between April 23-28 under the name H&C Farms Label, the FDA reported.

In a notice published online May 28th, the FDA labeled this a Class I recall − the highest recall risk level issued by the agency, as it can potentially cause serious health complications or lead to death.
