A Florida-based produce company voluntarily recalled a batch of potentially contaminated cucumbers that were sold in April and May.

The Food and Drugs Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have linked the potentially contaminated cucumbers to a multi-state outbreak of salmonella .

Here's what to know.

Which products are being recalled?

Bedner Growers Inc., is voluntarily recalling cucumbers distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales Inc., between April 29 and May 19.

The company is also recalling cucumbers sold at three Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets locations in Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and West Palm Beach in Florida between April 29 and May 14. The FDA is working to determine where else the potentially contaminated products were distributed.

The recalled cucumbers do not bear any stickers or other labeling, so customers should immediately discard any cucumbers purchased at the aforementioned market locations between April 29 and May 14.

The recall does not include any cucumbers currently available for sale at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets, nor does it include any other agricultural products, according to the FDA. All cucumbers currently available at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets were not grown by Bedner Growers Inc., as the growing season has concluded. The company is no longer producing, packing or selling any cucumbers.

What is salmonella?

People can get infected with the illness by swallowing salmonella bacteria . This most commonly occurs after consuming contaminated food or water or touching animals, animal poop and the places animals live and roam.

Illness usually occurs within 12 to 72 hours after coming into contact with the bacteria, and the symptoms usually last four to seven days. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, or in severe cases, dehydration and vomiting.

Children younger than five, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe infections.
