A major produce supplier recalled cucumbers in 26 states after the FDA warned the company that there could be a link between the produce and salmonella infections.
SunFed Produce, based in Arizona, announced on Thanksgiving day that it would recall “all sizes of whole fresh American cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard containers.”
The possible contaminated produce was also packaged in generic white and black boxes with a sticker that reads “Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.””

Here’s what The New York Post reported:
A fruit supplier has recalled cucumbers across at least 26 states and Canada after federal health regulators told the company that there was a possible link between the produce and salmonella infections.
ADVERTISEMENTSunFed Produce, an Arizona-based company, announced on Thanksgiving that it was recalling “all sizes of whole fresh American cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard containers” that carried the firm’s label.
The impacted produce was also sold in generic white boxes and black plastic crates that include a sticker with the text “Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.,” which is the name of the grower.
The affected products were sold at stores between Oct. 12 through this past Tuesday, Nov. 26, according to a note posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
“Anyone with the recalled product in their possession should not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products,” the notice states.

Per ABC 7 NY:
Cucumbers distributed to more than two dozen US states and Canada are being recalled after reported illnesses from salmonella contamination.
SunFed Produce announced Wednesday that it’s recalling whole fresh cucumbers sent to foodservice and retail outlets and sold from Oct. 12 through Nov. 26. The recalled products were in bulk cardboard containers labelled SunFed or in generic white boxes or black plastic crates with a sticker with the name of the grower, Agrotato, S. A. de C.V.
They were shipped to customers in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Ontario. However, the cucumbers may have reached consumers in other states, too, SunFed said.
ADVERTISEMENTSunFed said it initiated the recall after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notified the company about associated illnesses from salmonella contamination from mid-October through mid-November.
