Some recently recalled cucumbers may “cause serious adverse health consequences or death” if eaten, according to the FDA.
If you’ve been holding off on salads after hearing about the cucumber recall earlier this month, you might want to wait a little longer: The FDA has released information suggesting the cukes could pose a particularly serious health risk. Here’s what’s been going on. On June 1, the FDA announced that cardboard boxes of cucumbers had been recalled for possibly being contaminated with salmonella bacteria, a common cause of food poisoning.
The FDA says the strain of bacteria in the Fresh Start cucumbers doesn’t match any ongoing salmonella outbreaks , and the CDC reports it’s not currently investigating any associated with Salmonella Bareilly. The organization is, however, “collecting more information to see if other cucumbers are affected.” Salmonella causes about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the United States every year, according to CDC estimates.
