SunFed Whole cucumbers - recalled due to Salmonella
1 year ago •source fda.gov
United States
SunFed Produce, LLC is recalling all sizes of SunFed Whole Fresh American Cucumbers because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The whole fresh American cucumbers were sold by SunFed and other importers and shipped to customers located in the states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington & Wisconsin. The cucumbers would have reached consumers through foodservice and retail outlets that may be located in states other than those listed above.Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. Symptoms of salmonellosis usually start 6 hours to 6 days after infection and last 4 to 7 days.
Cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard containers labeled with the "SunFed" label or in a generic white box or black plastic crate with a sticker that provides the implicated grower's name, "Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.,". The recalled cucumbers were sold between October 12, 2024, thru November 26, 2024.
SunFed initiated this recall after the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") notified SunFed that the cucumbers described above were associated with reported salmonellosis illnesses between October 12 – November 15, 2024.
