Cucumbers grown by Florida-based Bedner Growers and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales are linked to a new outbreak of salmonella illnesses, affecting at least 26 people across 15 states, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported late Monday.
U.S. health officials advised that if consumers don’t know the source of their cucumbers, they should discard them. Retailers should notify consumers who may have purchased those affected products.
