CBS News – Nearly four dozen people across 18 states are sick with salmonella food poisoning tied to recalled cucumbers, according to federal health officials. At least 16 people have been hospitalized.
The recalled cucumbers, grown by Bedner Growers Inc., were sold at three Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets locations in Florida and sent to stores, restaurants and other locations in multiple states.

They were distributed by Fresh Start Produce Inc. between April 29 and May 19.
The Florida-based grower was also one of the likely sources of a 2024 salmonella outbreak that sickened 551 people across 34 states, the CDC said.
