The recalled cucumbers, which include some that were grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico, were sold in bulk by retailers, including Albertsons, Costco, Wegmans, and Walmart. The produce may contain a sticker that says “SunFed Mexico,” although the company noted that recalled cucumbers may not necessarily have a label attached to them.
The company said recalled cucumbers were sold to distributors between Oct. 12, 2024, and Nov. 26, 2024, in 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, and Wisconsin. The cucumbers were also sold in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan.
However, because the FDA noted that cucumbers could have been shipped and sold in retail stores in other states, and may not contain any labeling, “Check your fridge and throw out any whole cucumbers you may have,” says James E. Rogers, PhD, director of food safety and testing at CR. That’s especially true for people who may be at higher risk of a serious infection, according to Rogers.
What’s more, because salmonella can contaminate hard surfaces, be sure to clean and sanitize produce storage drawers, countertops, or any area in your kitchen where the cucumbers might have come into contact.
Salmonella can contaminate food during the production process or become contaminated in the grow fields if soil or irrigation water is contaminated, says CR’s Rogers.
SunFed Produce did not respond to CR’s questions in time for publication.
