Bedner Growers, Inc. of Boynton Beach, Florida is voluntarily recalling cucumbers sold at Bednerâs Farm Fresh Market between April 29, 2025,
Bedner Growers, Inc. of Boynton Beach, Florida is voluntarily recalling cucumbers sold at Bednerâs Farm Fresh Market between April 29, 2025, and May 14, 2025 because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
some emphasis mine.
the cucumbers are contaminated with salmonella, and were sold between april 29th and may 14 2025.
salmonella infection usually causes illness 6 hours to 6 days after exposure, and symptoms usually last 4 to 7 days.
but there is a catch.
The recalled cucumbers were sold directly to consumers at the three Bednerâs Farm Fresh Markets locations in Florida (Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach). Because the recalled cucumbers do not bear any stickers or other labeling, customers should discard and not consume any cucumbers that were purchased at these locations between April 29, 2025, and May 14, 2025.
The recalled cucumbers also were sold to a wholesale distributor, which has been directed to further contact its customers with recall instructions.
emphasis mine.
the recalled cucumbers were sold directly to consumers, and also sold wholesale nationwide. they have no label. there is no way to identify if your cucumber is affected unless you know where it came from or you get contacted by where you bought it from. real fucking helpful!
illnesses have already been reported all over the country.
The cucumbers are being recalled because they have been linked by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to a Salmonella outbreak that has resulted in 26 illnesses in AL, CA, CO, FL, IL, KS, KY, MI, NC, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, and VA.
currently, 26 illnesses and 9 hospitalizations have been linked to this outbreak. these numbers are expected to rise.
the true number of people who got sick is probably much higher than this, and it takes 3-4 weeks to link any given illness to an outbreak. the CDC estimates that only 1 in 30 cases of salmonella actually gets diagnosed. as in, there may be 30 times as many infections as currently reported.
in 2024, this same grower was involved in yet another cucumber salmonella outbreak that sickened over 500 people and hospitalized over 150.
the list of where people got sick is NOT a comprehensive list of where the contaminated cucumbers were sold. these cucumbers were sold nationwide. from the CDC:
People reported buying and eating cucumbers from a variety of locations including grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and on cruise ships. FDA's traceback investigation identified Bedner Growers Inc. as the common grower of cucumbers in this outbreak.
emphasis mine. because there is no branding, there are no images to help figure out if you are affected.
but here is what the FDA and CDC recommend:
If you cannot tell if your cucumber was grown by Bedner Growers, throw it away. Â When eating out over the next week, ask if cucumbers were from Bedner Growers or Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc.
some emphasis mine.
finally, not everyone who got sick from the cucumbers said they actually ate cucumbers. there were likely cases of cross-contamination from food being prepared somewhere that came into contact with the contaminated cucumbers.
learn more from the CDC page on salmonella infection here. it is worth noting that infection from salmonella can sometimes cause medical issues for years.
this recall is expanding, and will almost definitely continue to expand.
the recalled items are under the cut because the FDA has been updating, adding, removing, and changing a LOT of related pages. I will note when I update below this point.
this recall is now listed as a major recall, and has its own aggregate list of FDA recall announcements.
3 issues:
not all relevant recalls are posted there because not all recalls have an FDA announcement yet, like the harris teeter recall that only has an external link on the FDA outbreak page.
some recalls that were posted earlier have now been deleted. there was a recall of dozens of "yummi sushi" products sold in kroger and other unnamed stores in at least florida. I am not sure why the recall page was removed or if it will go back up after I post this, so there is a foodsafetynews link just in case.
some recalls, like the greek salad recall, get recall announcements posted a while before they get linked on the outbreak investigation pages or the aggregate page.
this expanded recall includes (last updated may 23, 2025 (SEVERAL TIMES TODAY ALONE)):
snowfruit, snowfox, weis market, and roundy's products (including salads, sushi items, vegetable trays, noodles, MANY more) sold at kroger, roundy's (pick n save, metro market), and weis markets in: indiana, kentucky, illinois, michigan, tennessee, mississippi, arkansas, alabama, wisconsin, new jersey, pennsylvania, west virginia, delaware, maryland, virginia, and new york.
greek salads sold at: ACME, balducci's food lovers market, kings food markets, safeway, shaw's and star market in connecticut, delaware, maine, maryland, massachusetts, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia and washington DC.
big y foods made-to-order subs, wraps and paninis sold in massachusetts and connecticut
marinated cucumber salads sold at: food lion (virginia, north carolina), harris teeter (williamsburg, VA), kroger (virginia, west virginia, ohio, kentucky), libbie market (richmond, VA), and ukropâs market hall (richmond, VA).
walmart marketside cucumber slices sold in texas
pennrose and restaurant depot-branded whole cucumbers sent to distribution centers in new jersey, georgia, florida, illinois, and ohio (and then potentially sold to other states)
harris teeter cucumbers, large vegetable trays, and small vegetable trays (<- not an FDA recall link, yet?)
yummi sushi(?)
this recall WILL expand, so here are the links that you should be following if you want to keep up with it. as of when I am posting this, each of these links has information not found in the other links.
FDA outbreak investigation page (contains non-FDA recall links, but does not have a complete list of recall links)
FDA major recall page (aggregate of related FDA-posted recalls, does not include non-FDA links)
CDC outbreak investigation (covers different data about this outbreak)
FDA recalls, market withdrawals, & safety alerts (recall announcements with press releases)
due to delays when the FDA links or posts recall announcements, some items may have a recall posted around or after their best by date, or may have a recall posted long after they have already been removed from shelves.
the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isnât allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."
This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find
Some people get existential dread from this
Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating
@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally
Source (non Aboriginal)
And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history
Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)
This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.
My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.
The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.
That wasnât even his plan!! His plan was to make the senator a mutant, so heâd have to advocate for mutants or be destroyed by his own policy, and tbh. Itâs the best villain plan Iâve ever seen. The goo was the plan unexpectedly failing. 9/10 only bc he was going to kill Rogue. Next time use someone willing to sacrifice herself for the cause, pls. No further notes
