Multistate Salmonella Outbreak Sparks Cucumber Recall

  • In May 2025, U.S. health authorities identified a salmonella outbreak connected to cucumbers cultivated by Bedner Growers in Florida and sold through Fresh Start Produce Sales.
  • The outbreak follows a 2024 incident where untreated canal water used on Bedner farms caused over 550 illnesses across 34 states and Washington, D.C.
  • At least 26 people in 15 states became ill between April 2 and April 28, with nine hospitalized and no deaths reported; organic cucumbers are not affected.
  • Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, vomiting, dehydration, and stomach cramps, with young children, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals at higher risk of severe infection.
  • Officials urge retailers to notify consumers and advise throwing away cucumbers if their source is unknown while investigating the product's distribution footprints.
