Cucumbers Are Being Recalled in 15 States (So Far) After Multiple Reported Illnesses
This article may contain affiliate links that Yahoo and/or the publisher may receive a commission from if you buy a product or service through those links. Few things are more refreshing than a fresh cucumber. It's a staple in my fridge because it adds a satisfying crunch to salads and sandwiches, and it's delicious on its own as a simple snack. But before you grab one out of the fridge for your next quick lunch, you might want to double check where you got them from. On May 20, the CDC issued a recall for cucumbers grown by Florida-based company Bedner Growers, Inc. and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc. due to salmonella contamination. This isn't the first time this grower has had a recall, either. Last year a Bedner cucumber recall resulted in more than 550 illnesses. It's not just whole cucumbers you need to look out for, either. In addition to grocery stores such as Walmart, Albertsons, and Kroger, the cucumbers were shipped to restaurants and other facilities, so the recall includes ready-to-eat products made with the contaminated cucumbers. According to the CDC, the recall has led to 26 reported illnesses so far, nine of which led to hospitalizations, across 15 states: California, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee. Here's exactly what you need to know about which products were affected and what retailers they were sold from. Authentic Greek Salad sold at Acme, Safeway, Kings Food Markets, and Balducci's Food Lovers Market in CT, DE, DC, MD, NJ, NY, PA, and VA with best by dates between 5/23/2025 — 5/24/2025 Ready Meals Greek Salad sold at Shaw's and Star Market in MA, ME, NH, RI, and VT with best by dates between 5/20/2025 — 5/24/2025 Greek Salad sold at Shaw's and Star Market in MA, ME, NH, RI, and VT with best by dates between 5/20/2025 — 5/24/2025 Made-to-order sub sandwiches, wraps, and paninis sold at locations in MA and CT between 5/20/2025 — 5/21/2025 Fresh cucumbers, small and large vegetable trays Yummi Sushi products purchased between 4/29/2025 — 5/14/2025 Multiple products sold under the Snowfruit or Snowfox label at Kroger, Roundy's (Pick n Save and Metro Market), and Weis Market in IN, KY, IL, MI, TN, MS, AR, AL, WI, NJ, PA, WV, DE, MD, VA, and NY including vegetable trays, salads, and bowls.

Salmonella infections are also more popular in the summer when there's warmer weather; foods left out unrefrigerated for long periods of time can cause the bacteria to grow. Common symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhea, stomach cramps, dehydration, vomiting, and fever higher than 102°F, which typically start between six hours and six days after eating the contaminated food. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms after eating cucumbers, seek medical care. While most people will recover in four to seven days, salmonella poisoning can cause serious infections in children under 5, older individuals aged 65 and older, as well as those with weakened immune systems and underlying conditions. If you have recently purchased any of the products above and believe your cucumbers are contaminated, do not eat them. Throw them away or return them to the retailer you bought them from for a full refund. You should also clean and disinfect any surfaces that came in contact with the cucumbers with hot soapy water. If dining out, ask your server if the cucumbers used in any dish were sourced from Bedner Growers or Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc.

So far, the CDC has reported 26 cases of Salmonella, which led to nine hospitalizations across 15 states: California, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee. If you still have any of the recalled cucumbers or cucumber-containing products, you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Additionally, be sure to wash any surface that may have come in contact with the contaminated cucumbers with soap and water. If you have already consumed one of the recalled foods, you should monitor yourself for symptoms of a Salmonella infection. The most common symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps, dehydration, vomiting, and fever higher than 102°F—and, typically, symptoms begin between six hours and six days after eating the contaminated food. If you're experiencing any of those symptoms, contact your healthcare provider. While most individuals feel better after four to seven days, Salmonella can cause serious infections in children, older individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.
