A Maryland food company has recalled specific salsa and cucumber products that were distributed to locations in New Jersey because they were made with cucumbers that are possibly contaminated with salmonella.
TGD Cuts, LLC of Jessup, Maryland, is recalling some tub and tray products because they contained cucumbers from Boynton Beach, Florida-based Bedner Growers Inc., which have been linked to a salmonella outbreak.
TGD Cuts distributed the affected products, which included salsas, sliced cucumbers and cucumber spears, to retail and foodservice locations in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The products had use-by dates ranging from May 20 to May 28 and are unlikely to be in stores or being used. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products, the FDA said.
The initial May 19 recall involved cucumbers sold directly to consumers at Bednar’s Farm Fresh Market, according to notices published May 19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA. Subsequent recalls have been announced by grocers such as Harris Teeter, Kroger and Walmart for repackaged cucumbers for resale under different brand names or those used in ready-to-eat products, including vegetable trays and salads.
The cucumbers, distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales of Delray, Florida, also led to Target recalling individual cucumbers on May 30, specifically cucumber two-packs and various prepared foods products.
