Cucumbers distributed to 13 US states and five Canadian provinces, as well as organic eggs sold in 25 Costco stores across five southern US states, have been recalled due to potential salmonella contamination.
Arizona-based SunFed Produce recalled cucumbers sold between October 12 and November 26, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
No illnesses have been reported so far. Consumers who purchased cucumbers during this period should check with the store to see if they are part of the recall.
The egg recall affects nearly 11,000 cartons of 24-count organic eggs sold under Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand in Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee, starting November 22. No illnesses have been reported.
Handsome Brook Farms stated that the cartons contained eggs “not intended for retail distribution.”
Consumers should check their egg cartons for the Julian code 327 and a use-by date of January 5, 2025. If the eggs are part of the recall, they should be discarded or returned to the store for a refund.

Customers who have purchased either of the recalled products should wash any items and surfaces that may have come into contact with the produce using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher. Salmonella can trigger symptoms that start six hours to six days after consuming the bacteria, including diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.
While most individuals recover without treatment within a week, it can severely affect young children, people over 65, and those with compromised immune systems. Earlier this summer, a distinct salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers resulted in 450 people falling ill in the US.
