Wegmans is a regional supermarket chain with stores in Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.
Wegmans last month notified customers of a few additional product recalls, which included organic carrots, cucumbers and Impossible Foods Spicy Ground Sausage and Spicy Ground Sausage Meat from plants.
Nationally, carrots and cucumbers were recalled due to potential E. coli or salmonella contamination. Thirty-six states have been affected amid the cucumber recall by SunFed, Crazy Fresh and PAM PAK brands.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal health complications. E. coli is a bacterium that also can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says. Symptoms of E. coli include fever, nausea, cramps and vomiting. Signs of salmonella are comparable and the FDA notes that people with weakened immune systems, seniors and children under 5 may have more severe infections.
The agency says it is investigating the salmonella outbreak related to cucumbers grown by Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. in Sonora, Mexico. As of November 26, there have been 68 people infected in 19 states, according to the FDA.
Eighteen hospitalizations have occurred with no reported deaths, the agency says, noting that of the 33 people interviewed, 27 ate cucumbers.
The FDA is also probing an outbreak related to the possibility of E. coli in organic carrots. There have been 39 reported illnesses as of November 26, with 15 hospitalizations and one death, the agency says.
Links with pictures of the recalled carrots and cucumbers are posted on the agency's website. The FDA advises customers to discard and not consume the recalled products and to sanitize surfaces.
