Cucumber Alert: Recall After Salmonella Scare

Hey there! You might want to check your fridge. Cucumbers shipped to lots of places in the US and Canada are getting recalled due to a salmonella scare. SunFed Produce said they're pulling back whole fresh cucumbers sent to stores and restaurants between mid-October and late November. You'll find them in big cardboard boxes or black plastic crates with stickers saying "Agrotato, S. A. de C. V. ". These cucumbers went to many states like Alaska, Arizona, and even Canada's Ontario and Alberta. Health officials warned SunFed about people getting sick from eating these cucumbers.

If you have these cucumbers, don't eat them! Throw them out or destroy them. Make sure to clean and sanitize any surfaces that touched them. Salmonella can make you feel really sick with symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Most people get better with treatment, but kids, older people, pregnant folks, and those with weak immune systems can get really sick. If you’ve had these cucumbers and feel unwell, see a doctor right away. SunFed's president said they're working with authorities to figure out what happened. They’ve been focusing on food safety for over 30 years and make sure their growers follow FDA rules.
