US EditionSalmonella Outbreak: Cucumber Products Sold at Walmart, Kroger Stores Recalled
- As of May 23, 2025, a salmonella outbreak connected to cucumbers cultivated by Bedner Growers in Florida and supplied by Fresh Start Produce has affected 26 individuals across 15 states.
- The outbreak prompted voluntary recalls starting May 19 from Bedner Growers and Fresh Start Produce, followed by additional recalls from companies repackaging their cucumbers.
- Recalled products include whole cucumbers, cut cucumber slices, marinated cucumber salads, and Greek salads sold at Walmart, Kroger, Publix, Albertsons-owned stores, and others across affected states.
- The FDA states that symptoms of salmonella infection—such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps—typically develop within 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food and persist for four to seven days. Severe cases are more common in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems, who should seek prompt medical advice if they experience signs of infection.
- Health officials recommend that consumers discard or return any recalled items and caution retailers against selling the affected cucumbers, emphasizing the continuing health risks and the need to inform individuals who might have ingested the products before the recall.
