Salmonella Cucumber Outbreak over after 113 Sick – Montana, Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado and Texas hit hard

According to the CDC, the total of 113 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella were reported from 23 states: Alaska 2, Arizona 1, California 4, Colorado 8, Iowa 3, Illinois 4, Massachusetts 6, Michigan 3, Montana 18, Nebraska 1, Nevada 1, New Jersey 2, New Mexico 1, New York 1, Ohio 1, Oregon 9, Pennsylvania 1, South Dakota 5, Texas 8, Utah 3, Washington 9, Wisconsin 13, Wyoming 9.

Illnesses started on dates ranging from October 12, 2024, to December 7, 2024. Of the 99 people for whom information was available, 28 were hospitalized. No deaths were reported. 

The true number of sick people in this outbreak was likely much higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not have been limited to the states with known illnesses. This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella.

According to the FDA, many companies have recalled cucumbers or foods made with them. CDC advises people not to eat and businesses not to sell or serve recalled cucumbers. FDA continues to work with additional importers that received cucumbers grown by Agrotato S.A. de C.V.
