Walmart recalls cucumber slices sold in Texas because of potential Salmonella contamination

Walmart recalls cucumber slices sold in Texas because of potential Salmonella contamination
Published:

Walmart Inc. is recalling Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices, produced in select stores because of potential Salmonella contamination.

This recall was initiated because the product may contain recalled whole cucumbers supplied by SunFed Produce, LLC, which initiated a recall after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified SunFed that the cucumbers described above were associated with reported salmonellosis illnesses between Oct. 12 – Nov. 15, 2024.

The Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices, produced in select stores, were available at 34 Walmart stores located in Texas.

About Salmonella infections
Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell, or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection. Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile.

Anyone who has eaten any of the recalled cucumbers and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.

Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days. In some cases, however, diarrhea may be so severe that patients require hospitalization.

Older adults, children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions.

Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms. However, they may still spread the infections to others.
