E. coli, salmonella are reminiscent of eggs, carrots, cucumbers; what you should know

Recalls of carrots, cucumbers and now eggs have New Jersey consumers worried about E. coli and salmonella.

Here’s what you need to know about the recalls and the bacteria.

Why are cucumbers being recalled?

SunFed Produce this week recalled whole fresh American cucumbers sold in 26 states, including New Jersey, due to possible salmonella contamination.

The cucumbers sold between October 12 and November 26, 2024 were packaged in bulk cardboard containers marked “SunFed” or generic white boxes and black plastic crates marked “Agrotato, SA de CV”.

If your cucumbers are affected by the recall, do not eat them. Instead, throw them away immediately and then clean all surfaces and areas that the cucumbers or packaging touched.

What is the carrot recall?

Grimmway Farms recalled packaged organic and baby carrots earlier this month, including brands such as 365, Bunny Luv, Cal-Organic and Trader Joe’s, due to possible contamination with E. coli.

The carrots were sold nationwide, including in New Jersey, between August 14 and October 23, 2024.

If you have recalled carrots, throw them away and clean any areas where they were stored or handled.

Are eggs being recalled?

Milos Poultry Farms recently recalled all carton sizes and types of Milo’s Poultry Farms and Tony’s Fresh Market brand eggs due to possible salmonella contamination.

Although the recall primarily affected the Midwest, some people may have purchased eggs from out-of-state sources.

If you have eggs marked with these brands, do not eat them. Discard them and clean any surfaces or containers the eggs may have come into contact with.

What is the difference between E. coli and Salmonella?

Although both E. coli and salmonella can cause intestinal problems, there are differences in how they harm your food, what they do to you, and how to prevent them.
