Last week, two recalls for cucumbers and Costco eggs were issued over Salmonella risk.
SunFed whole American cucumbers were linked to a multi-state Salmonella outbreak that sickened nearly 70 people, and almost 260,000 organic eggs sold under Costco's Kirkland Signature brand were recalled for potential Salmonella contamination.
The FDA is advising consumers to throw away any recalled products and monitor for common symptoms of Salmonella infection, including diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.

Two major recalls for cucumbers and Costco eggs have been issued over potential Salmonella contamination, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced last week.

On Wednesday, SunFed voluntarily recalled all sizes of whole fresh American cucumbers grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Mexico after the produce was linked to a Salmonella outbreak—sickening 68 people and hospitalizing 18. Illnesses were reported in 19 states, with the most sick people in Montana; the cucumbers were distributed to 26 states and parts of Canada.

The FDA is advising consumers to throw away any SunFed cucumbers grown in Mexico that were purchased between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26. If you purchased whole American cucumbers in that time period but can't tell where they're from, the FDA recommends erring on the safe side and throwing them away.

Also on Wednesday, Handsome Brook Farms voluntarily recalled 10,800 units of 24-count eggs—for a total of nearly 260,000 eggs—sold under the Kirkland Signature brand at Costco. The eggs were recalled over potential Salmonella contamination, but no illnesses have been reported in connection to the affected products.

The recalled eggs were sold in 25 Costco stores in five states, beginning on Nov. 22. The recall only applies to products labeled Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs with the Julian code 327 and a use-by date of Jan. 5, 2025. Customers can return the affected product to their local Costco for a full refund, or throw the eggs away, the FDA advises.

Signs and Symptoms of Salmonella

Symptoms of Salmonella Infection

If you suspect you may have consumed a recalled product, the CDC recommends monitoring for common symptoms of Salmonella infection, including diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Symptoms usually start from six hours to six days after consuming the bacteria and clear up without treatment within a week.

Some groups of people—children younger than 5 years old, adults aged 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems—may experience more severe symptoms. The CDC recommends contacting a healthcare provider if you experience the following:
