Cucumbers shipped to several provinces have been recalled due to a potential salmonella contamination.
SunFed Produce says its whole fresh American cucumbers, which were sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26, are being recalled after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) associated the product with reported salmonella cases.
SunFed issued its own recall in a news release Wednesday. It said affected cucumbers were packaged in bulk cardboard containers labelled with the “SunFed” label, or in a generic white box or black plastic crate with a sticker that provides the implicated grower’s name, “Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.”
The cucumbers were shipped to Alberta, British Columbia, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Ontario, as well as several U.S. states, SunFed said. It added the produce would’ve reached consumers through foodservice and retail outlets that may be located in areas that weren’t listed.
