The FDA has announced a recall of cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers, Inc. and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc. due to a multistate Salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 26 people across 15 states. The cucumbers, distributed since April 29, may be unlabeled or sold in various packaging. Nine people have been hospitalized. The FDA urges consumers, retailers, and restaurants to discard potentially contaminated cucumbers and sanitize affected areas. The investigation is ongoing.
