Health officials are investigating a new outbreak of salmonella tied to a Palm Beach County-based grower.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports at least 26 people in 15 states, including Florida, have gotten sick after eating cucumbers grown by Bedner Growers and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales.
No deaths have been reported.
This outbreak was detected as part of a follow-up inspection to an outbreak last year that sickened more than 550 people. In that outbreak, investigators found salmonella bacteria in untreated canal water used at farms operated by Bedner Growers.
