Gyro Sandwich Express Meal Kits Recalled Due to Contaminated Cucumber

Baloian Farms of Arizona has recalled cucumbers due to potential Salmonella contamination. In response, Fresh Creative Foods is recalling its Beef & Lamb Gyro Sandwich Express Meal Kits (UPC: 0-13454-38313-1) with use-by dates from 12/24/2024 to 1/6/2025, as the tzatziki sauce in the kits contains the affected cucumbers. These kits were distributed nationwide to Sam’s Club warehouses. Fresh Creative Foods has ceased using cucumbers from the supplier.

Salmonella infections can result in severe illness, particularly in vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms, including fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, typically develop within 6 hours to 6 days after exposure and may last 4 to 7 days. Fortunately, no illnesses linked to the recalled products have been reported to date.

Consumers are advised not to consume, sell, or distribute the recalled cucumbers. Affected products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a refund. To prevent cross-contamination, thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces or utensils that may have come into contact with the cucumbers. If you have consumed the product and experience symptoms of salmonellosis, contact a healthcare provider immediately.

If you believe you’ve been impacted by this recall, you may be eligible for a compensation. Contact Keep Food Safe for expert guidance on your next steps.
