Menno Beachy of Cresco, Iowa, is recalling one-pint containers of Certified Organic Grape Tomatoes because they may be contaminated with Salmonella, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
According to FDA, a food distributor in Minnesota sold 15 cases containing 12 one-pint containers of the grape tomatoes to retail stores in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan between July 26 and August 6.
FDA said the recall was initiated after the Minnesota Department of Agriculture tested a sample of the grape tomatoes at a Minnesota distributor and a state official confirmed that the sample was pulled as part of the the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Microbiological Data Program.
The sample that tested positive for Salmonella was from lot MB725GT0. In their press release, Menno Beachy said they are investigating the source of the contamination.
According to FDA, no illnesses have been associated with the product.
