Walmart Inc. Recalls Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices in Select Texas Stores Because of Possible Health Risk

Summary

Company Announcement

BENTONVILLE, Ark. May 22nd, 2025 Walmart Inc. is voluntarily recalling Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices, produced in select stores located in Texas, because of the potential for Salmonella contamination of the implicated cucumbers. The recall was initiated because this product may contain recalled whole cucumbers supplied by Bedner Growers, Inc. of Boynton Beach, FL, which initiated a recall after the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) notified Bedner Growers Inc. that the cucumbers described above were associated with reported salmonellosis illnesses (see FDA Outbreak Investigation)

Salmonella is an organism that 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. Symptoms of salmonellosis usually start 6 hours to 6 days after infection and last 4 to 7 days.

To date, no illnesses have been reported for the recalled Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices.

The Marketside Fresh Cut Cucumber Slices were produced in select stores located in Texas between May 13th , 2025, and May 20th , 2025.
