Nationwide Cucumber Recall Linked to Salmonella Outbreak

Cucumbers grown in Mexico and distributed by multiple companies have been recalled in 35 states, with 68 reported illnesses and 18 hospitalizations.

The salmonella outbreak has been traced to cucumbers grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico, and distributed by SunFed Produce, Baloian Farms, and Russ Davis Wholesale.
The recall affects cucumbers sold between October 12 and November 26 at major retailers, including Walmart, Costco, and Wegmans, across 35 states and five Canadian provinces.
At least 68 people in 19 U.S. states have been infected, with 18 requiring hospitalization, though no deaths have been reported.
Recalled products include whole cucumbers and prepared items like salads and wraps containing the contaminated produce; consumers are advised to discard or return these items immediately.
Symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, with vulnerable populations such as young children and the elderly at higher risk of severe illness.
