Cucumbers sold in 26 stores recalled over Salmonella concerns
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A produce company based in Arizona is recalling whole cucumbers that were distributed in more than two dozen states and Canada due to Salmonella concerns.
A filing posted by the Food & Drug Administration on November 28 said SunFed Produce, LLC recalled cucumbers that were sold between October 12 and November 26 and are being pulled from store shelves.
The recall applies to all sizes of SunFed whole, fresh cucumbers.
The cucumbers were sold in and shipped to customers 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 & Wisconsin and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Calgary, Saskatchewan, & Ontario.
The FDA said the cucumbers would have reached consumers through retail outlets and foodservice that may be located in states other than those listed.
“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,” SunFed President Craig Slate said in a statement.
Customers are urged to check their own produce to see if they have any of the potentially affected cucumbers. SunFed said the recalled products should be destroyed.
Those who think they have bought the recalled cucumbers or have questions can call the SunFed recall hotline at (888) 542-5849, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time.

Social media reacts to Arkansas' 90-77 loss to Illinois
On a bitter afternoon in Kansas City, Missouri, the No. 19 Arkansas Razorbacks (5-2) were defeated by the Illinois Fighting Illini (6-1), 90-77, inside the T-Mobile Center.
Right out of the gates, Arkansas’ lack of physicality and focus was noticable. Not only did that result in 11 total turnovers throughout the contest, but the Razorbacks couldn’t stop the Illini from finishing white-hot from distance (15-of-31 from three), either.
Leading the Hogs was forward Adou Thiero, who racked up 26 points, six rebounds, an assist and a steal. 12 of his points came from the charity stripe, where he shot 21 attempts in total.
Below are social media reactions from fans and media throughout the Hoop Hogs’ non-conference loss:
