Ripple recalls from yet another salmonella outbreak traced to a Florida grower’s cucumbers are washing over Kroger-owned and other grocery stores in the U.S.
There are two soup recalls to know about right now. First, ready-to-eat chicken soups are being recalled, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. This is due to mislabeling and an undeclared wheat allergen.
All of the recalled cucumbers are traced back to Bedner Growers, Inc. of Boynton Beach, Florida, which announced its own recall on May 19. Two days later, PennRose Farms, LLC announced a recall of cucumbers it received from Bedner. Since then, multiple other companies have recalled products that feature cucumbers that may have come from Bedner.
Even more produce products sold in multiple states, including Ohio, were recalled by the FDA due to a high threat of potential salmonella contamination.
