I understand your concern about the recent issue with cucumbers. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that cucumbers linked to a multistate Salmonella outbreak have been recalled. They have caused 449 recorded illnesses so far.
They advise avoiding these cucumbers, especially if you are unable to tell where the cucumber has been grown. If you have already purchased cucumbers and are unsure if they are part of the recall, you might consider disposing of them to be safe.
Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. If you’ve eaten cucumbers and are experiencing these symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention.
Remember, it’s always important to ensure your food is safe to eat. Always wash fresh produce and practice proper food safety procedures in the kitchen.
