potentially contaminated with Salmonella.

Fresh Start Produce Sales Inc. of Delray, Florida is recalling cucumbers that were shipped to wholesalers and distributors in 14 states from May 17th through May 21st, 2024.

States the cucumbers were sent to include:

• Alabama
• Florida
• Georgia
• Illinois
• Maryland
• North Carolina
• New Jersey
• New York
• Ohio
• Pennsylvania
• South Carolina
• Tennessee
• Virginia
• West Virginia

The recall was initiated after the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture informed the company that a product sample tested positive for Salmonella. The FDA is testing affected produce to see if there are any connections to ongoing outbreaks.

Consumers are advised to check with their grocer to see if recalled cucumbers were sold where they shop, though the FDA says it is unlikely that the affected produce made it to grocery stores.

Symptoms of and treatment for salmonella ********

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA. The signs of salmonella poisoning include:

• ******* diarrhea or diarrhea that lasts more than three days without improving
• Diarrhea and fever over 102 degrees Fahrenheit
• Excessive vomiting, especially if it prevents you from keeping liquids down
• Signs of dehydration, including dry mouth and throat, infrequent peeing and feeling dizzy when standing up
• Stomach cramps

These symptoms most commonly occur between six hours and six days after exposure. Though most people recover in four to seven days, those with weakened immune systems, including children younger than 5 and adults over 65, may experience more severe symptoms that require medical treatment or hospitalization.
