An epidemic of Salmonella in May 2025 linked to the cucumbers of Bedner Growers, based in Florida, extended, going from 26 people in 15 states to now allocate 45 people in 18 states, according to the US Food and Drug Administration: Alabama, Calorado, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Caroline, New York Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. There have been 16 hospitalizations, but fortunately no death has been reported so far. The cucumbers were distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc., Delray, Florida, and now Walmart and Target have issued reminders on products that could be contaminated by cucumbers.
The target recall (see the full list here) Includes a variety of Sushi and Tempura rolls sold under the Mai brand, as well as the Greek style chicken salad with lemon pepper from the Good & Gather brand from Target, the Greek style chicken salad with lemon pepper with wild boar head and individual raw cucumbers. Walmart remembers the fresh cup on the market Cucumber Slices Produced in certain stores located in Texas, as well as the cucumbers of all Bedner from the first announcement of the epidemic.
While the emphasis was put on the stump of Salmonella Montevideo, the FDA says that several other strains – for as many people unrelated to the epidemic – have been detected in samples taken from a distribution center for Bedner producers in Pennsylvania. “The CDC works to determine if additional human diseases correspond to these additional strains,” said the FDA in a statement. “A more in -depth analysis of the sample is pending.”
The CDC advises anyone who suspects that they may still have the cucumbers to throw them away (although the cucumbers recalled should no longer be for sale). “Cucumbers may have been sold individually or in smaller plans and the types could be labeled as” supers “,” select “or” plains “. These cucumbers are not organic varieties, ”explains the CDC. “If you have cucumbers at home and you can’t say where they come from, throw them away.”
The cucumbers sold by the fresh markets of the Bedner farm after May 14, 2025 are not subject to the recall, and no other agricultural product sold by the company, indicates the CDC. No cucumber currently available for sale on the Bedner’s Farm farm, the fresh markets were cultivated by Bedner producers, the growth season.
So what signs of salmonella should they be careful? “Fever, stomach cramps and diarrhea that can be bloody are typical. Nausea, vomiting and headache can also occur. Symptoms usually start in a few hours but can take a few days to appear, ”explains Liz Weinandy, DrOhio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Most people recover very well and do not need antibiotics. High -risk groups such as the elderly or immunocompromised may require more treatment than the usual rest and fluids. ”
Weinandy says that if the symptoms continue, consult a doctor. “If you have a really serious diarrhea or if you cannot stop vomiting, you must contact your health practitioner because you can become dehydrated or if bacteria can pass intestines in the bloodstream. Once it has passed into the blood circulation, the infection is very serious.”
