45 people sick & 16 hospitalized across 18 states in a growing multistate Salmonella outbreak. 40+ additional products containing cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers are recalled out of caution. Affected products were sold at Target stores and Target.com nationwide.
Who's At Risk?
Salmonella mainly impacts young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Most healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill after exposure to Salmonella.
Symptoms
Symptoms may include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the organism can get into the bloodstream and producing more severe illness such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
