Bedner Growers Inc. of Boynton Beach, Florida, is voluntarily recalling cucumbers sold at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market over concerns they’re potentially contaminated with salmonella, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people who are infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis, the agency detailed.

The recalled cucumbers were sold directly to consumers at the three Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets locations in Florida (Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and West Palm Beach).

Because the recalled cucumbers do not bear any stickers or other labeling, customers should discard and not consume any cucumbers that were purchased at these locations from April 29 to May 14.

The recalled cucumbers also were sold to a wholesale distributor, which has been directed to further contact its customers with recall instructions, the agency stated.

The cucumbers are being recalled because they have been linked to a salmonella outbreak that has resulted in 26 illnesses in: Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, the agency said.

This recall does not include any cucumbers currently available for sale at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets after May 14, nor does it include any other agricultural products.

All cucumbers currently available for sale at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets were not grown by Bedner Growers Inc. as the company is no longer producing, packing or selling any cucumbers because the growing season has concluded.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products may obtain additional information by contacting Bedner Growers Inc. at 866-222-9180, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Bedner Growers Inc. is conducting this recall in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
