SunFed Produce Recalls Cucumbers Due to Salmonella

A significant recall of cucumbers linked to a Salmonella outbreak has been issued by SunFed Produce, affecting 68 individuals across 19 states and resulting in 18 hospitalizations, although no deaths have been reported. The cucumbers, shipped from Agrotato S.A. in Sonora, Mexico, were sold between October 12 and November 26, 2024, to various retailers, including Walmart and Wegmans. Additionally, nearly 11,000 cartons of organic eggs from Costco in five southern states were also recalled due to potential contamination, though no illnesses have been reported in that case. Consumers are urged to check for recalled products and sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with them. The FDA is actively investigating the outbreak and working with SunFed Produce to determine further necessary recalls. Salmonella infections can result in symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, particularly affecting vulnerable populations.
