SunFed cucumbers and Costco eggs recalled due to potential salmonella contamination

Cucumbers shipped to the U.S. and Canada — and organic eggs sold in 25 Costco stores in five southern U.S. states — have been recalled because of potential salmonella contamination. Arizona-based SunFed Produce recalled cucumbers sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26. Handsome Brook Farms said nearly 11,000 cartons of 24-count organic eggs were sold under Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand. The cartons contained eggs that were “not intended for retail distribution.” Federal health officials say 68 people in 19 states were sickened by the cucumbers, and 18 of them needed to be hospitalized. There were no reported illnesses with the eggs.
