Twenty-six people from 15 states have gotten sick from the same strain of Salmonella linked to whole cucumbers. Nine of these people have been hospitalized.

Whole cucumbers were grown by Bedner Growers Inc. and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales Inc. between April 29 and May 19.

Whole cucumbers may have been sold individually or in smaller packages and the types could be labeled as “supers,” “selects,” or “plains.” These cucumbers were not organic.

What You Should Do:

If you have cucumbers at home and can’t tell where they are from, throw them away.

When eating out over the next week, ask if cucumbers were from Bedner Growers or Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc.

Wash surfaces and items that may have touched the cucumbers using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
