(WHTM) — The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of cucumbers sold in several states including Pennsylvania, due to possible Salmonella contamination.

According to the FDA, SunFed Produce, LLC is recalling all sizes of its whole fresh American cucumbers which were sold between October 12, 2024, through November 26, due to potential Salmonella contamination.

The cucumbers were packaged in bulk cardboard containers labeled with the “SunFed” label or in a generic white box or black plastic crate with a sticker that provides the implicated grower’s name, “Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.”.

The FDA says these cucumbers were sold by SunFed and other importers and shipped to customers located in 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, and Wisconsin.

They were also shipped to the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Calgary, Saskatchewan, & Ontario.

SunFed initiated the recall after the FDA notified them that the above cucumbers were associated with reported salmonella-related illnesses between October 12 and November 15.

It should be noted that no other products sold by or farms supplying SunFed are implicated in this recall.

According to the FDA, consumers should take the following actions regarding the recalled cucumbers:

• Check to see if you have recalled whole fresh American cucumbers
• Anyone with the recalled product in their possession should not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products. You are also encouraged to clean and sanitize surfaces that could have come into contact with the recalled product to reduce cross-contamination.
• Recalled products should be thrown out or destroyed so they may not be consumed or returned to the point of purchase.
• Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased the recalled product are advised to contact their retailer.
• If you think you have consumed a recalled product and do not feel well, contact your healthcare provider.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products may obtain additional information by contacting SunFed’s recall hotline at (888) 542-5849.

“As soon as we learned of this issue, we immediately acted to protect consumers. We are working closely with authorities and the implicated ranch to determine the possible cause,” Craig Slate, President at SunFed said. “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.”
