Triple B Sliced Cucumbers Recalled for Potential Salmonella Contamination

Plain-English summary

Triple B Corporation is recalling 78 two-pound bags of sliced cucumbers (3/8" thickness) due to potential contamination with Salmonella. The product is packaged in plastic bags and placed in cardboard boxes, and is sold to the deli departments of retail stores in Alaska rather than directly to consumers. The specific product is identified by UPC 0 45009 10104 4 and GTIN# 1 0045009 10104 1, with use-by dates ranging from August 8, 2015, to September 11, 2015.

This recall is linked to a broader recall of Limited Edition Brand Cucumbers being conducted by Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce. The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, which is the most serious type of recall because there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or the death.

Consumers who have purchased these specific sliced cucumbers should stop using them immediately. Retail delis in Alaska are responsible for removing the product from their inventory. Individuals who have consumed the product and are experiencing symptoms of Salmonella infection should contact their healthcare provider.
