A nationwide salmonella outbreak resulting in dozens of hospitalizations and hundreds of infections is linked to recalled cucumbers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, following a monthslong investigation by health officials.Wednesday they had received reports of 449 people infected with one of two strains of salmonella in 31 states and the District of Columbia, including 125 people who have been hospitalized, though no fatalities have been reported.
Two Florida-based growers likely supplied the cucumbers and are no longer growing or harvesting, though both growers do not account for all reported illnesses, the CDC said: Bedner Growers of Boynton Beach and Thomas Produce Company of Boca Raton. An inspection of Thomas Produce Company’s site found salmonella in samples of canal water used by the company, including a strain that has been reported in some sickened people.
Other salmonella strains were detected in soil and water samples collected at both Bedner Growers and Thomas Produce, whose cucumbers are no longer in season nor on store shelves.We’re launching text message alerts so you'll always know the biggest stories shaping the day’s headlines.
