SunFed Produce, one of the Limited Liability Corporations that provides our organic American (aka Slicer) Cucumbers has issued a recall for American cucumbers that were grown by one farm in Mexico and sold between October 12-November 26 due to a Salmonella outbreak.
The Organic cucumbers that our Near West Store currently have in stock are from SunFed Produce, however, the lot number we have is not from the farm listed on the CDC outbreak source. The Near West Store’s are from Sonora, Mexico, whereas the recalled ones are from Sinaloa Mexico. These are two different states. English cucumbers and mini English cucumbers are not included in the recall.
We have not received any word from our distributor regarding lots of cucumbers that we have already sold. If you have recalled cucumbers you purchased from us before November 30, we urge you to throw them away. If you would like a refund or replacement, please request this at Customer Service.
The recalled items were not used in our house-made products, deli, salad bar, or hot bar.
If you have any questions, contact us by calling out NEar West Store to speak with our Produce Department:
