A number of salad and salsa products containing cucumbers have been recalled because they could potentially be contaminated with salmonella, federal officials announced.
According to an announcement from the FDA, the Coastal Companies is issuing a voluntary recall of 17 products produced from cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers, Inc. and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales. These products were distributed by East Coast Fresh in Laurel, Md. and Hearn Kirkwood in Jessup, Md.
The affected products were distributed between May 6-21 to multiple customers in Washington D.C., Ohio, Virgina, Michigan, West Virginia, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont and North Carolina.
A list of the recalled products and UPC numbers is available on the FDA website.
