Cucumbers potentially contaminated with salmonella and linked to infections are being recalled in 15 states including Michigan.

Salmonella causes symptoms from diarrhea and fever to severe, sometimes life-threatening infections in vulnerable groups. U.S. consumers are being urged to thoroughly inspect their deli, salad, and produce purchases, as healthy individuals are at risk.

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.
