Cucumbers linked to a salmonella outbreak have been recalled in Florida

Four images show labels and packaging used for the recalled cucumbers. One image shows stacks of green cucumbers in a box. Two others show sticker labels that may be on packaging, one with the grower's name Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. and another with the brand SunFed. Another picture shows a large box with the words SunFed Produce on the side.

These images from the Food and Drug Administration show labels and packaging used for the recalled cucumbers grown in Mexico by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. and sold under the brand name of SunFed Produce. The cucumbers were sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26 and are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers from a grower in Mexico.

The FDA says 68 people across 19 states, including Florida, have become sick  after consuming cucumbers. No deaths have been reported.

Florida consumers who bought cucumbers between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26 packaged under the brand name SunFed should throw them away.

According to FDA, the cucumbers may also be in a generic white box or black plastic crate with a sticker label showing the grower's name: Agrotato, S.A. de C.V.

Eating food tainted with the bacteria can cause severe gastrointestinal distress. Children younger than 5, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe infections.

Arizona-based SunFed Produce has recalled cucumbers.
