Cucumbers recalled due to salmonella

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Dec, 2024 11:50 AM

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is recalling field cucumbers – some of which were distributed in B-C – for possible salmonella contamination.

The affected products from Mexico may have been labelled “SunFed” or sold loose without a brand name.

The agency says the products were sold from October 12th to November 29th in B-C, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario – and possibly in other jurisdictions as well.

Consumers who may have the recalled products are asked not to consume, serve or sell the cucumbers but to return them to their retailer or discard them.
