Wiers Farm, Inc., based in Willard, OH, has announced a voluntary recall of specific batches of whole cucumbers and bagged salad cucumbers.

The affected products include whole cucumbers with a pack date of June 5, 2024, and bagged salad cucumbers with pack dates of June 5, 2024, and June 6, 2024. These items were distributed to select Walmart stores located in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.

The potential contamination was discovered during routine sampling conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD). As of now, there have been no reported illnesses or consumer complaints related to this issue.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and to discard any remaining items. Wiers Farm, Inc. emphasizes that the affected products are likely past their shelf life and should no longer be in distribution.
