Listeria, salmonella, undeclared allergens and foreign materials. So how can you stay ahead of these recalls? It's pretty easy. There's *** free app. It's called food recalls and Alerts. It collects all the information from the FDA and the USDA. And also by the way, pet food recalls. I love that they include the pets in this.

However, the cucumbers may have reached consumers in other states, too, SunFed said.SunFed said it initiated the recall after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notified the company about associated illnesses from salmonella contamination from mid-October through mid-November. It's not clear how many illnesses have been reported. When reached by CNN, the FDA said it had no further updates.The recalled cucumbers should be thrown out or destroyed and should not be eaten. People should clean and sanitize surfaces that come into contact with the recalled products."We are working closely with authorities and the implicated ranch to determine the possible cause," SunFed President Craig Slate said in a statement. "Here at SunFed, food safety and consumer health and wellness have been our priorities for more than 30 years. We require all of our growers to strictly comply with the FDA food safety requirements."Symptoms of a salmonella infection include diarrhea and bloody diarrhea, fever, chills, headache, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting that can start within hours or days of consuming the bacteria. Most people will recover with specific treatment, but they should seek immediate attention from a health care provider if they have severe symptoms, if symptoms don't improve after a few days or if there are signs of dehydration. Children, elderly people, people who are pregnant and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to become severely ill.
