The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers from Florida-based Bedner Growers, affecting at least 26 people in 15 states, with nine hospitalizations. This follows a previous outbreak in 2024 that caused over 550 illnesses. The cucumbers were sold between April 29 and May 19 and may still be within their shelf life. Health officials advise throwing away cucumbers if unsure of their origin. Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, and vomiting.
