The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified another cucumber grower involved in an outbreak of salmonella that has infected nearly 450 people across the United States.
In June, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced it was investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella linked to cucumbers. Last month, the FDA identified Florida-based Bedner Growers, Inc. as a supplier location from where the outbreak began. The FDA recently found Thomas Produce Company, of Boca Raton, Florida, as another supplier linked to the infections, according to an Aug. 14 CDC update.
