Before you toss up your next salad, there’s an urgent warning you need to know about. Over 30 veggie products have been recalled due to a serious contamination risk.
Don’t miss this important update!
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a series of recalls on produce items that were sold at popular grocery chains such as Kroger and King Soopers.
The culprit? A batch of cucumbers suspected of being contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, the elderly, and others with weakened immune systems.
The list of recalled items includes a variety of ready-to-eat salads, vegetable trays, and even snack cups with cucumbers.
These products were distributed across several states, including Colorado and Texas, and feature a range of “Best By” dates that you should check against any items you may have at home.
And that's just the beginning.
The brand Snowfruit also recalled 18 products, including cucumber slices with Tajin and various vegetable bowls, sold at Kroger locations in Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Texas, and Wyoming.
If you find any of these products in your refrigerator or freezer, it's imperative to dispose of them immediately or return them to the store for a refund.
But don't stop there.
Salmonella can spread to surfaces the food has touched, so be sure to clean your kitchen thoroughly.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection, or salmonellosis, include stomach cramps, diarrhea, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
These can appear from six hours to six days after exposure and can be particularly severe for those over 60.
In addition to the produce items, Kroger has also recalled ready-to-eat sushi containing cucumber sold at select Texas locations.
If you've consumed any of these products and are feeling unwell, please contact your healthcare provider.
For more information on the Salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers, you can reach out to SunFed's recall hotline at (888) 542-5849, available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST.
Remember, staying informed and proactive about these recalls can make all the difference in protecting your health and the health of those you love.
Let's keep our kitchens safe and our meals enjoyable, free from the worry of contamination.
