WASHINGTON, May 3 (UPI) -- A California firm has been notified that the grape tomatoes supplied for its salads may be contaminated with salmonella, U.S. officials said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the prepackaged salads from Taylor Farms Pacific, Inc. of Tracy, Calif. were sold to Albertson's, Raley's, Safeway, Sam's Club and Walmart.

The salads have "use by" dates of late April and early May and were distributed to stores in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana and Utah.

The suspect grape tomatoes were supplied to Taylor Farms Pacific by a California grower, Six L's, the FDA said.

No illnesses have been reported but Six L's issued a voluntary recall of the tomatoes.

The Food and Drug Administration said customers who have questions about the recall can contact the company directly at 209-835-6300 or visit the FDA or U.S. Department of Agriculture Web sites.
