Cucumber Recall Could Impact Alabama

Some cucumber products that pose possible health risks due to salmonella have been recalled. Salmonella is an organism that may lead to severe and potentially life-threatening infections in young children, the elderly, the frail, and individuals with compromised immune systems.

SunFed Produce, LLC (SunFed) is issuing a recall for all sizes of whole fresh American cucumbers packed “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.,” said the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

The SunFed recall impacts the following states: 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, as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Calgary, Saskatchewan, and Ontario.
