Cucumbers Sold by Major Corporation Facing New Recall Due to Salmonella Issue

Baloian Farms in Arizona has sounded the alarm on their whole fresh American cucumbers due to a potential Salmonella crisis, the FDA screams out loud.

This alarm bell rings for cucumbers of all sizes, found branded under the "Pamela" label, white generic cartons with a "Agrotato, S.A. de C.V." sticker slapped on, and clear PamPak branded bags with six cukes (UPC 8 2540107010 6).

The recalled green gourds were peddled from October 12 through November 26, 2024, across multiple U.S. states, such as California, Arizona, Texas, and others, along with Alberta and British Columbia in Canada. The affected cucumbers were dished out through foodservice and retail outlets.

Grave Consequences

Salmonella can inflict some pretty nasty health issues, especially on vulnerable populations like kids, the golden oldies, and individuals with frail immune systems. Symptoms usually include fever, squirting loose stools, nausea, hurling, and a crampy tummy. In extreme cases, this infection might lead to complications such as arterial infections, endocarditis, or arthritis.

What Can You Do?

  • Recognize the goods: Go on a hunt for these recalled cucumbers carrying the specified details.
  • Dump 'em: If you come across these bad boys, don't consume, serve, or distribute them. Remember to give your surfaces a good scrubdown after they've been around.
  • Get the lowdown: If you've got symptoms resembling Salmonella infection post cucumber chomping, reach out to a healthcare provider.
  • Speak up: For more deets, dial their customer service line at 888-840-6642, Mondays to Fridays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.

This recall is a knee-jerk reaction to cases of salmonellosis traced back to Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.’s cucumbers. Baloian Farms is working hand in glove with the FDA and its partners to ferret out the infected goods from the market.
