Multistate Cucumber Recall in Salmonella Outbreak
Florida, USA: A salmonella outbreak traced to fresh cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers has sickened at least 26 people across 15 states. Federal agencies recalled cucumbers distributed by Fresh Start Produce from April 29 to May 19. Health officials advise discarding any potentially contaminated produce. Nine people were hospitalized, no deaths reported. Investigations continue, and more illnesses may appear.
What this means for you:
Check recent grocery receipts or produce labels to confirm you haven’t purchased the recalled cucumbers
If you ate cucumbers recently and feel ill—especially with fever or severe diarrhea—consult a healthcare provider
Wash hands, cutting boards, and utensils thoroughly after handling produce
Cruise passengers or frequent travelers should keep receipts or note meal sources if traveling through impacted regions

  • CDC: U.S. agency investigating disease outbreaks. Currently tracing the salmonella strain.
  • FDA: Oversees food safety regulations. Issued the recall notice for affected cucumbers.
  • Bedner Growers Inc.: Florida-based farm that supplied the contaminated cucumbers. Founded in 1960; now under scrutiny.
