Salmonella cucumber recalls include products that may not be labelled: CFIA – CTV
Dec. 6, 2024
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has published an expanded pair of recalls for cucumbers over risks of salmonella contamination.
Affected products include:
Pamela brand cucumbers sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 29, though a Wednesday release from the agency notes that the cucumbers may have been distributed loose or in bulk, and may not have been identifiable by a specific brand. Originally a product of Mexico, cucumbers under the recall were sold in British Columbia and Alberta, though some may have reached other provinces and territories as well. The Dec. 4 recall is a follow-up to a separate recall on cucumbers published the day before, also for salmonella risks.
In addition, a Nov. 28 recall on SunFed brand cucumbers and expanded on Dec. 2 has been further updated, now including field- and slicer cucumbers (PLU 4062) sold in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan between Oct. 12 and Dec. 4. Similar to the above, affected products may have been sold outside of the listed provinces, and may have been sold loose or in bulk, without brand labels.
