Wiers Farm, Inc., based in Willard, OH, has announced a voluntary recall of specific batches of whole cucumbers and bagged salad cucumbers. This recall comes in response to concerns that the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause severe illness in vulnerable populations.

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. However, if consumers have any doubts about the products they possess, they should refrain from using them and contact Wiers Farm, Inc. for further guidance.

For more information, concerned consumers can reach Wiers Farm, Inc. customer service at (419) 933-2161 or email customercare@wiersfarm.com.

Wiers Farm, Inc. assures the public that they are cooperating closely with regulatory officials to resolve the issue swiftly and maintain the highest standards of food safety.
