Salmonella infections linked to cucumbers sold in Wisconsin

Three Wisconsinites ill, cucumbers recalled, Wisconsinites urged to check homes for them

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), along with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP), local health departments, and federal partners, is working to investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to cucumbers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 68 people in 19 states have become infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella. This includes three people who live in Wisconsin.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the cucumbers were sold by SunFed Produce, LLC (SunFed) and shipped to 26 states, including Wisconsin, between October 12 and November 26. The cucumbers have now been recalled. Individual cucumbers may have a sticker that says “SunFed Mexico.” More information about the recall and how to identify the recalled cucumbers is available on the FDA website.
