Walmart Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of its Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices due to potential Salmonella contamination. This action follows a recall initiated by SunFed Produce, LLC of Rio Rico, AZ, which supplied the whole cucumbers used in the product. SunFed’s recall was prompted after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) linked the cucumbers to reported salmonellosis illnesses occurring between October 12 and November 15, 2024. Other related cucumber recalls linked to SunFed include, Russ Davis Cucumbers and Baloian Farms Cucumbers.
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 compensation. Contact Keep Food Safe for expert guidance on your next steps.
