The Food and Drug Administration said Fuentes Farms of McAllen, Texas, recalled 71 boxes of its fresh cucumbers due to a positive result for Salmonella in routine sampling.

The administration said Fuentes Farms distributed the product in Texas by local vendors at flea markets in McAllen and Alamo. The affected products have a Fuentes Farm Label with Lot No. 357. The product comes in 40-pound, 1 1/9 bushel boxes, which read “vegetables” in red and have a black background.

The FDA says no illnesses have been reported and this recall is not part of any current food outbreaks and Fuentes Farms has ceased production of this product.
