Cucumbers distributed to more than two dozen US states and Canada are being recalled after 68 reported salmonella infections. Health agencies are warning that the contaminated cucumbers may still be in people's refrigerators and should not be eaten.

The article from CNN, published on November 29, 2024, discusses a recall of cucumbers by SunFed due to a Salmonella outbreak. The recall affects cucumbers distributed in multiple states, with the FDA and CDC reporting 152 cases of Salmonella infection linked to the consumption of these cucumbers. Symptoms of Salmonella include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, with severe cases potentially leading to hospitalization. The affected cucumbers were distributed between September 1 and November 18, 2024, and consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for the recalled products, identified by specific lot codes, and either return or dispose of them. SunFed has halted production and distribution while the investigation continues, and health officials are urging anyone who has consumed the recalled cucumbers and is experiencing symptoms to seek medical attention.
