Cucumbers grown in Florida linked to outbreak of salmonella. What you should know
Cucumbers grown in Florida have been linked to an outbreak of salmonella. TGD Cuts, LLC of Jessup, Maryland, recalled salsa and cucumber products because they were made with cucumbers that are possibly contaminated with salmonella. The recalled items contained cucumbers from Boynton Beach, Florida-based Bedner Growers Inc. Here's what you need to know about the latest recall. TGD Cuts, LLC of Jessup, Maryland, recalled some tub and tray products because they contained cucumbers from Bedner Growers Inc. of Florida. The cucumbers have been linked to a salmonella outbreak. TGD Cuts distributed the affected products, which included salsas, sliced cucumbers and cucumber spears, to retail and foodservice locations in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Bedner Growers Inc. of Boynton Beach, voluntarily recalled cucumbers sold at Bedner's Farm Fresh Market and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a release May 19. ➤ Florida cucumber recall triggers dozens of salad, sushi recalls from Walmart, Publix, more The cucumbers were sold at three Bedner's Farm Fresh Market locations in Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach between April 29, 2025, and May 14, 2025, according to a release from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As of May 23, there have been 26 reported salmonella cases, the CDC said, in 15 states, including Florida. "Several people ate cucumbers on cruise ships leaving ports in Florida," the CDC said. In June 2024, Fresh Start Produce Sales Inc. recalled cucumbers from Bedner and from Thomas Produce Co. of Boca Raton that were linked to a salmonella outbreak that sickened 551 people in 34 states and the District of Columbia, including 60 people in Florida. Tomatoes distributed in three southern states — none in Florida — became the subject of a possibly deadly recall, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Williams Farms Repack LLC, based in Lodge, South Carolina, said the affected tomatoes were packaged and sold to wholesalers and distributors between April 23-28 under the name H&C Farms Label. On June 6, the CDC and FDA linked brown eggs sold in nine states — including at some Walmart stores — to an ongoing salmonella outbreak in which 79 people have been sickened and at least 21 hospitalized. "Salmonella are bacteria that make people sick," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Contaminated food is the source for most of these illnesses. Children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness. Pregnant women are also at higher risk of developing an infection from it and should seek medical attention if symptoms arise. Salmonella bacteria cause "about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the United States every year," the CDC said. Freezing and drying do not kill salmonella, the FDA said. Cooking will kill bacteria, including salmonella, but you'll need to use a food thermometer to make sure the temperature gets between 145 and 165 degrees, depending on what you're cooking. Be careful of all surfaces and your hands to prevent cross-contamination. ➤ Safe food temperature chart Salmonella can make people ill with diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, which can last from four days up to a week. Symptoms usually begin six hours to six days after infection, the CDC said. Most cases of salmonella infections pass, but some people may need to be hospitalized. Symptoms include: Feeling dizzy when standing up Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102 degrees Diarrhea for more than 3 days that is not improving Bloody diarrhea So much vomiting that you cannot keep liquids down Signs of dehydration, such as: Not urinating much Dry mouth and throat Contributing: C.A.

13th measles case of 2025 in the state confirmed in Woodland
( — The 13th California measles case of this year was confirmed in Woodland on Friday afternoon by the Yolo County Health and Human Services, according to the Office of the County of Yolo. Video Above: Child with measles possibly exposed others at UC Davis Medical Center Officials said the person is a resident of West Sacramento and is experiencing mild illness as they recover at home. Their vaccination status is unknown. 'Prior to two cases reported in 2024 among Yolo County residents who traveled internationally, the county had not seen a measles case since 2015,' officials said. Officials confirm there are no additional local cases that have been identified thus far, but acknowledge the measles that was detected in wastewater samples collected from the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant in mid-May and early June. 'Only a small portion of the wastewater processed at the plant originates from West Sacramento,' officials said. 'Although the June detections may be linked to this individual, the May wastewater detections cannot be.' The source of the earlier detections is being investigated. Officials said it is possible that another unknown person with measles was in the area. The county informs the community that the person visited the Sutter Davis Hospital while infectious and may have exposed patients, visitors and healthcare providers. Precautions to take to avoid dangers from the summer heat The hospital identified patients and staff who may have been exposed and is notifying them. Meanwhile, officials said the hospital took all the necessary safety precautions and notified Yolo County Public Health once measles was suspected. Visitors present at the time the patient was at the hospital, however, have not been identified. Anyone who was at the hospital during the following days and hours is asked to contact Yolo County Public Health's Communicable Disease Program at 530-666-8670. Yolo County Public Health said the person visited Sutter Davis Hospital, Emergency Department, 2000 Sutter Place in Davis on: May 31-June 1, between 10:12 p.m. and 1:42 a.m. June 2, between 2:42 p.m. and 1:23 a.m. 'This case of measles in our community is a good reminder that while international travelers and those traveling to outbreak areas within the U.S. are at highest risk of measles, residents can also encounter measles during travel to non-outbreak areas or even within our local community,' said Dr. Aimee Sisson, Yolo County Public Health Officer. 'It is important to check your measles vaccination status to make sure you are protected against measles infection.' Officials said vaccinations against measles fell globally during the pandemic, and the disease surged throughout the nation. The county reminds the community that measles can be prevented with a measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR), or a measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine (MMRV). The symptoms of measles begin eight to 10 days after exposure and typically start with a fever, cough, red and watery eyes and a runny nose. The person infected will then experience a rash that starts from the head and spreads downwards, three to five days after the initial symptoms. 'Measles can result in serious complications and even death for young children and vulnerable adults,' said the county. 'Exposed people with symptoms should stay home and away from others and contact Public Health immediately.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
