A cucumber recall was issued in a salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 68 people — including 18 who required hospitalization — across multiple states, federal officials said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Friday that the cucumbers were grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico. The distributor, SunFed Produce of Rio Rico, Arizona, issued a voluntary recall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced days earlier.
The CDC warned the actual number of people sickened is probably higher because it can take three to four weeks to determine whether someone is part of an outbreak. The current data is based on reports between Oct. 12 and Nov. 16 from 19 states.
