July 3, 2024 – In March, the FDA and CDC began investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Africana and Salmonella Braenderup infections potentially linked to cucumbers. In the investigation update on July 2, a Florida grower was named as a possible source of illnesses in this outbreak.
FFVA and other food safety experts are raising concern that the update shared does not provide the most accurate information. Namely, the mischaracterization of water used by the grower.
We appreciate the FDA and the CDC for their work to determine the cause and scope of the problem because the safety and security of our food supply is the top priority of the fresh produce industry.
FFVA and the entire produce industry will always support any research or guidance based on sound science, but we must ensure we rely on the science. That is why we urge the FDA and CDC to conduct a complete and thorough investigation as quickly as possible to ensure responsible information is given to consumers.
