Florida-based Bedner Growers is recalling cucumbers after reports of salmonella contamination in 15 states, including Alabama.

According to an announcement from the Food and Drug Administration, the cucumbers were sold individually or in smaller packages but may not have a product name, or best-by date. The cucumbers were distributed to restaurants, wholesalers, retailers and distribution centers since April 29.

The cucumbers were distributed in Alabama. California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Restaurant suppliers and wholesalers have been contacted to notify customers about the health concerns. Diners and shoppers should ask at a restaurant or grocery store if the cucumbers are grown by Bedner Growers. If unsure, it’s best to throw it out.

As of May 16, there have been 26 reports of people infected with the strain of salmonella linked to the cucumbers. Of those cases, nine required hospitalization.

Symptoms from salmonella typically appear within 12-72 hours of eating contaminated food and usually last for 4-7 days. Children younger than five, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe infections with symptoms including diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.

The FDA is still investigating the outbreak.
