Washington, DC: On September 4, 2015, Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce voluntarily recalled all cucumbers sold under the "Limited Edition"brand label during the period from August 1, 2015 through September 3, 2015 because they may be contaminated with Salmonella causing food poisoning.
The type of cucumber is often referred to as a "slicer"or "American"cucumber. It is dark green in color and typical length is 7 to 10 inches. In retail locations it is typically sold in a bulk display without any individual packaging or plastic wrapping.
Limited Edition cucumbers were distributed in the states of Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah and reached customers through retail, food service companies, wholesalers, and brokers. Further distribution to other states may have occurred.
These cucumbers are shipped in a black, green, yellow, and craft colored carton which reads "Limited Edition Pole Grown Cucumbers."Labeling on the cases of recalled cucumbers indicates the product was grown and packed by Rancho Don Juanito in Mexico. Domestically produced cucumbers are not believed to be involved in this outbreak.
In retail locations the cucumbers are typically sold in a bulk display without any individual packaging or plastic wrapping. Recalled cucumbers may be in consumers' homes, restaurants, and grocery stores. Most people infected with Salmonella develop the following signs and symptoms 12-72 hours after being exposed to the bacteria: diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.
