In late November, SunFed Produce LLC voluntarily recalled all sizes of the brand’s whole fresh American cucumbers grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Mexico. The recall stemmed from a Salmonella outbreak that, as of Nov. 26, has sickened at least 68 people, 18 of whom have been hospitalized. Illnesses were reported in 19 states, with many in Montana, although the cucumbers were distributed to 26 states and parts of Canada. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that customers throw away any SunFed cucumbers purchased between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26. Since then, a flurry of additional brands have recalled their cucumbers (or cucumber-containing products) in connection with the Salmonella outbreak. Here’s what you need to know. Other Recalled Cucumber Products In late November and early December, Baloian Farms of Arizona Co., Inc. (Baloian Farms) and Russ Davis Wholesale (Russ Davis) initiated voluntary recalls of all sizes of fresh American and slicer cucumbers also grown by Agrogato. These cucumbers were sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26. The Baloian Farms cucumbers were distributed in California, Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Colorado, Utah, Kansas, Wyoming, New York, Massachusetts, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Alaska, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. In addition to the whole, fresh cucumbers, Russ Davis has also recalled multiple products containing the vegetables: Crazy Fresh Garden Salad with Ranch DressingQuick & Easy Garden Salad with Ranch DressingCrazy Fresh Turkey Havarti WrapQuick & Easy Bacon Avocado WrapCrazy Fresh Bacon Avocado WrapKowalski’s Market Garden Salad The recalled products were distributed to both food service and retail customers in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Beginning Wednesday, several companies recalled cucumbers in connection to the original SunFed recall. JFE Franchising, Inc. recalled select cucumber-containing Snowfruit and Snowfox products sold at Kroger retail stores in Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, Arizona, and Colorado. The recalled products include: Cucumber Slices with TajinVegetable BowlMixed Melon, Cucumber & TajinCucumber, Lime & Tajin Large Vegetable TrayVegetable BowlCucumber Bowl with RanchSmall Vegetable TrayGarden SaladFamily Garden SaladFamily Cobb SaladCobb SaladCucumber with RanchChef SaladWatermelon & Cucumber with TajinCucumber SaladSpicy Cucumber Salad Additionally, Walmart recalled Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices sold in 34 stores in Texas. The product may contain cucumbers supplied by SunFed, the FDA said. On Thursday, Supreme Service Solutions recalled certain grab-and-go products sold at select Kroger and King Soopers stores in Texas and Colorado. Those include: Large Vegetable Tray 42 ozVegetable Bowl $5Vegetable Bowl $10 26 ozVegetable Ranch Tray No Dip Small 19.5 oz Chef SaladFamily Cobb Salad 22 ozIndividual Garden Salad 12 ozIndividual Greek Salad 12 ozFamily Garden Salad 24 oz Individual Cobb Salad 11 ozSouthwest Salad 11 ozCucumber with Ranch Snack CupCucumber Slices with Tajin 10 ozCucumber Bowl with Ranch dip Also on Thursday, Yummi Sushi LLC issued a recall of grab-and-go containers of cut produce sold at Kroger stores in Texas. It’s not clear at this point how the cucumbers were contaminated. "SunFed cucumbers outside the scope of our recall are not affected and are no longer available for sale," a SunFed company spokesperson told Health. "SunFed is working with the FDA and its supply chain partners to protect public health." Symptoms of a Salmonella Infection Salmonella are bacteria that can cause an illness known as salmonellosis. The bacteria live in the intestines of people and animals, but people can be infected after having contaminated food or drinks or by touching animals, animal feces, or places where animals roam. Salmonellosis can cause severe stomach cramps, along with watery diarrhea that may contain blood or mucus. Headaches, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are also common with a Salmonella infection. Children under the age of five, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to become seriously ill from Salmonella. It’s not rare for food recalls to expand after an original recall, Darin Detwiler, LPD, author of the book Food Safety: Past, Present, and Predictions and a professor at Northeastern University, told Health. This is usually due to follow-up testing. “That uncovers further contamination or new reports of illnesses linked to products not included in the initial recall,” he said. Given how many different cucumber products are recalled at the moment, Detwiler said people from the vulnerable groups previously mentioned may want to avoid cucumbers for now.
