The FDA, CDC, and state partners investigated a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to American/slicer cucumbers grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico. As of January 8, 2025, 113 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella were reported from 23 states (AK, AZ, CA, CO, IA, IL, MA, MI, MT, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, SD, TX, UT, WA, WI and WY). Of the 99 people for whom information was available, 28 were hospitalized. No deaths were reported. Of the 69 people interviewed, 56 (81%) reported eating or likely eating cucumbers. CDC declares the outbreak over. Epidemiologic and traceback information demonstrated that American/slicer cucumbers grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico, were the source of illnesses in this outbreak. Several companies issued recalls for American/slicer cucumbers and products containing recalled cucumbers. The recalled product is past shelf-life and should no longer be distributed or sold in stores. FDA’s investigation is complete. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-cucumbers-november-2024?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
