F&S Fresh Foods and Dairyland Produce, LLC, dba Hardie’s Fresh Foods of Houston, TX and Dallas, TX are recalling products containing cucumbers connected to the Salmonella recall.

The FDA posted several recall announcements this week that are related to the cucumber recall initiated by grower Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico.

The recalled products were distributed to various grocery stores located in Connecticut and New York.

Russ Davis Wholesale of Wadena, MN, is recalling multiple products out of an abundance of caution because they contain recalled cucumbers from Baloian Farms which have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

4Earth Farms of Commerce, California, is recalling multiple brands of Organic Vegetable Medley, Conventional Vegetable Medley, and Organic Whole Carrots because it may be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) O121:H19.

The investigation didn’t tell us enough to learn from the outbreak, said Frank Yiannas, former deputy commissioner for food policy and response for the FDA.

Baloian Farms of Arizona Co., Inc. is recalling all sizes of whole fresh American cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard containers labeled with the “Pamela” brand, a generic white box with a sticker that provides the implicated grower’s name, “Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.,” or a clear PamPak branded bag of 6 individual cucumbers with the UPC 8 2540107010 6.

The FDA says do not eat, sell, or serve cucumbers grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico; including recalled cucumbers from SunFed Produce, LLC.

Customer information provided by Grimmway Farms shows that the recalled products were also distributed to customers in Canada, Colombia, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates.
