Product Name and any other identifying info
SunFed Produce, LLC (SunFed) is recalling all sizes of whole fresh American cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard containers labeled with the “SunFed” label or in a generic white box or black plastic crate with a sticker that provides the implicated grower’s name “Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.,.” The recalled cucumbers were sold between October 12, 2024, and November 26, 2024, and are being recalled because they could potentially be contaminated with Salmonella.
Reason for Recall
SunFed initiated this recall after the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) notified SunFed that the cucumbers described above were associated with reported salmonellosis illnesses between October 12 – November 15, 2024. SunFed is also contacting each of its direct buyers to advise them of the recall. No other products sold by or farms supplying to SunFed are implicated in this recall.
Was the recalled product in the Coop when the recall was issued?
No
If no, could the Coop have sold recalled products at some point? If so, when?
No. Our supplier never received or sold the contaminated cucumbers.
Does the Coop stock any similar products? If so, offer a clear explanation of how those differ from the recalled product.
The recalled cucumbers are conventional. The Coop only carries the recalled type in the organic variety that was not recalled.
The Coop will not be offering refunds as we did not carry the affected items.
Mexican cinnamon
The Food Coop has never carried any of the brands of Mexican cinnamon recalled by the FDA in March 2024.
