The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning concerning an investigation in several states related to an outbreak of Salmonella linked to whole cucumbers.
According to the agency, there have been 26 reported cases in 15 states that have resulted in nine hospitalizations. There have been no deaths linked to the outbreak.
The whole cucumbers affected were grown by Bedner Growers Inc. and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Inc. between April 29 and May 19, 2025.
The states affected are California, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee.
However, the CDC warns “this outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses, and the true number of sick people is likely much higher than the number reported. This is because many people recover without seeking medical care and are not tested for Salmonella.”
The first reported illness from this outbreak was reported on April 2 with reports running through April 28. “Recent illnesses may not yet be reported as it usually takes three to four weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak,” the CDC adds.
The CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are collecting data to investigate the outbreak, the CDC announced on its website.
Seven of those sick from the outbreak reported taking a cruise during the seven days prior to becoming sick, all departing from locations in Florida, the CDC reports. Sick people were aboard five different cruise ships that departed from the U.S. between March 30 and April 12, it added.
