Cucumbers shipped to Texas and a dozen other U.S. states are under recall due to potential salmonella contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Arizona-based SunFed Produce recalled all sizes of its whole fresh cucumbers sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26, FDA officials said this week. The vegetables were shipped in cardboard containers labeled with the “SunFed” brand or in generic white boxes or black plastic crates featuring the grower’s name: Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.
Anyone with the recalled cucumbers should throw them out, then clean and sanitize surfaces that may have come into contact with them, according to the FDA. Those who bought the recalled products may obtain more details by contacting SunFed’s recall hotline (888) 542-5849, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. CST.
Salmonella can result in serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms after ingesting the bacteria can include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. They can begin with six hours or six days after contact.
