TOPEKA, Kan. -- Federal health officials say cucumbers distributed to more than 25 states, including Missouri and Kansas, may be contaminated with salmonella. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported the recall on Thursday for SunFed Produce, LLC based out of Arizona. The company announced the recall for all sizes of its whole fresh American cucumbers packaged in bulk cardboard boxes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. In rare instances, salmonella can cause more serious health complications such as infections in the blood, bones and membranes of the brain and/or spinal cord.
