Bedner Growers / Agrotato Cucumbers (Salmonella Outbreak)

Whole fresh cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, along with cucumbers grown by Agrotato S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico, were recalled after a multistate Salmonella outbreak. The FDA warned consumers not to sell, serve, or eat cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers between April 29 and May 19, and numerous retailers pulled sliced cucumbers, wraps, and salads made with the implicated produce. The CDC ultimately reported 45 illnesses across 18 states linked to the outbreak strain.
