The importers and retailers in Canada are voluntarily recalling Krown brand cherry tomatoes and store-made party trays containing cherry tomatoes due to possible Salmonella contamination, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with this bacterium may cause salmonellosis, a foodborne illness. In young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, salmonellosis may result in serious and sometimes deadly infections.
