Cucumbers shipped to 13 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces and organic eggs sold in 25 Costco stores in five southern U.S. states were recalled this week for potential salmonella contamination.
SunFed Produce, based in Arizona, recalled the cucumbers sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday.
The recall happened after SunFed was told by the FDA that there were associated illnesses reported between Oct. 12 and Nov. 15, but no details were made available on how many people were sickened or where. People who bought cucumbers during the window should check with the store where they purchased them to see if the produce is part of the recall.
The egg recall involved nearly 11,000 cartons of 24-count organic eggs sold under Costcos Kirkland Signature brand that landed on shelves in Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee starting Nov. 22, according to the companys announcement posted Wednesday on the FDA website.
