Following a recall initiated by Fresh Creative Foods, Albertsons Companies has voluntarily recalled three store-made deli items due to potential Salmonella contamination. This action is in response to an active illness outbreak and involves products containing a recalled cucumber ingredient grown by Bedner Growers, Inc., located in Boynton Beach, Florida.
Salmonella is known to cause serious infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms often include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
The affected deli items were sold at ACME, Balducci's Food Lovers Market, Kings Food Markets, Safeway, Shaw’s and Star Market across several states including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington D.C.
Consumers who have purchased these items are advised not to consume them. Instead, they should dispose of the products or return them to their local store for a full refund. Those concerned about health issues should contact a healthcare provider.
For further inquiries regarding the recall process or product details, consumers can reach out to Albertsons Companies’ Customer Service Center at 1-877-723-3929 from Monday through Friday between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. PST.
