TOPEKA (KSNT) – Federal health officials say cucumbers distributed to more than 25 states and several provinces in Canada may be contaminated with salmonella.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported the recall on Nov. 28 in a press release on its website for SunFed Produce, LLC based out of Arizona. The company announced the recall for all sizes of its whole fresh American cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard boxes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. In rare instances, salmonella can cause more serious health complications such as infections in the blood, bones and membranes of the brain and/or spinal cord.

The FDA said the recall impacts all SunFed labeled boxes of cucumbers sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26. These were shipped to 26 states and areas in Canada:

• United 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
  • Wisconsin
• Canadian provinces
  • Alberta
  • British Columbia
  • Calgary
  • Saskatchewan
  • Ontario

SunFed started the recall after the FDA notified the company its cucumbers were found to be connected to reports of salmonellosis between Oct. 12 and Nov. 15. People who purchased the recalled cucumbers are encouraged to avoid contact with them and clean all surfaces they came into contact with. The cucumbers should be thrown away or returned to where they were purchased from.

“As soon as we learned of this issue, we immediately acted to protect consumers,” said Craig Slate, president at SunFed. “We are working closely with authorities and the implicated ranch to determine the possible cause. Here at SunFed, food safety and consumer health and wellness have been our priorities for more than 30 years. We require all of our growers to strictly comply with the FDA food safety requirements.”

People who have questions about this recall can contact SunFed by calling 888-542-5849 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST.

Carson (Calif.) Tustin three-star cornerback Lennie Brown was offered by Kansas on April 30. He took his first visit to the Jayhawks last weekend. 

Brown went to Kansas’ campus in Lawrence and also to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City for the Jayhawks’ upset win over Colorado. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound defensive back was so “amazed” on his trip to the Big 12 program that he committed to head coach Lance Leipold and his staff less than a week after it. 

“The visit had a great impact on my commitment because I felt at home because of the treatment from the staff,” Brown told On3. “I committed that Sunday after touring the school and talking to the coaches.” 

Brown enjoyed watching Kansas’ big win last weekend

Brown received 10 offers and chose Kansas over schools including Florida, Michigan State and Tennessee. The Jayhawks plan to use him as both a cornerback and a nickelback.

Kansas is currently one win away from bowl eligibility after defeating Colorado, one of their biggest victories of the season. Brown enjoyed being there for it. 

“The game I went to was great,” said Brown, On3’s No. 47 cornerback and No. 52 player in California in the 2026 cycle. “I got to watch them play against Travis Hunter, see the defense live and see how they coach. I would say the biggest highlight was Devin Neal scoring four touchdowns.”

Brown is excited to play for Kansas’ coaches

Brown is closest with co-defensive coordinator/cornerbacks coach D.K. McDonald and defensive analyst Brandon Shelby. He is looking forward to playing for them in the coming years. 

“A few of the reasons why I chose KU was because of the staff, the legacy of the coaches and what they have done for the players since they got there,” Brown said.
