FDA officials have warned the American public to not eat, sell or serve cucumbers grown and distributed by two Florida companies after a salmonella outbreak in more than a dozen states.

A cucumber recall has been linked to a salmonella outbreak in multiple states, including Illinois and Michigan, and is under investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the agency announced Monday. A May 19, 2025, news release from the FDA reports that 26 people across 15 states have become ill in the outbreak of salmonella montevideo.

U.S. health officials are investigating a new outbreak of salmonella illnesses tied to a Florida grower whose tainted cucumbers were linked to more than 550 illnesses last year.
