Following an announcement earlier this week, the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said retailers have made additional recalls of cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers in Boynton Beach, Fla., and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales of Delray, Fla.

These recalls are part of a larger investigation by the agencies into a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Montevideo.

Additional recalls are being conducted by companies that used or repackaged recalled cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers:

  • Harris Teeter Disclaimer — fresh cucumbers and vegetable trays
  • Kroger — Yummi Sushi-branded products
  • PennRose Farms — 5-pound mesh bags of whole cucumbers
  • Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods — Marinated Cucumber salads
