Whole fresh cucumbers grown by Florida-based Bedner Growers, Inc., and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales Inc. have been recalled for possible salmonella contamination. The cucumbers were distributed between April 29, 2025, and May 19, 2025, and they may still be within their shelf life.

The cucumbers may have been sold individually or in smaller packages with the labels "supers," "selects," or "plains" on them, and they are not of the organic variety. Aside from those labels and the Bedner Growers Inc. and the Fresh Start Produce Inc. tagging, there is no other specific identifying information.

If you have cucumbers at home and don’t know where they are from, the CDC recommends throwing them away. If you’re eating out over the next week and are ordering something with cucumbers, ask specifically if they are from Bedner Growers Inc. or Fresh Start Produce Inc.
