SunFed Cucumbers Recalled in U.S. and Canada Over Salmonella Contamination

The recall affects cucumbers sold in 26 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces, linked to 68 reported illnesses so far.

SunFed Produce has voluntarily recalled whole fresh cucumbers sold between October 12 and November 26 due to potential salmonella contamination.
The cucumbers, grown in Mexico by Agrotato S.A. de C.V., were distributed in 26 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces through retail and food service outlets.
The Centers for Disease Control has linked the contaminated cucumbers to 68 reported salmonella cases across 19 states, with 18 hospitalizations and no deaths reported.
Consumers are advised to dispose of the recalled cucumbers, sanitize surfaces, and contact their retailer if unsure about the product’s origin.
Salmonella symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, with severe cases posing risks to children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.
