Another Cucumber Recall Impacts Ohio

This time it is linked to a listeria outbreak

An Ohio company selling cucumbers across three Midwest states issued a voluntary recall on Tuesday, citing a possible listeria contamination.

The products, both whole cucumbers with a pack date of June 5, 2024 and bagged salad cucumbers with a pack date of June 5, 2024 and June 6, 2024, were sold by Wiers Farm Inc. and distributed in Walmarts across Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.

On July 16, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) published a notice on behalf of the Ohio-based company on July 16, announcing the recall. According to the release, the potential listeria monocytogenes contamination was discovered by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) through routine sampling.
