Voluntary recall on whole and salad cucumbers due to possible Listeria contamination

Out of an abundance of caution, Wiers Farm Inc. of Willard, Ohio, is voluntarily recalling a limited number of 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 due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

This product was not grown or harvested by Wiers Farm. It was sourced from out of state, then handled and distributed by Wiers Farm. Wiers Farm Inc. is coordinating closely with regulatory officials in connection with the recall.

The potential contamination was discovered by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) through routine sampling. Listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that can cause listeriosis. Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the illness and symptoms may last from days to several weeks.
