The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is recalling cucumbers across the country due to a potential salmonella contamination. 

All sizes of SunFed Produce whole fresh American cucumbers sold between Oct. 12 and Nov. 26 were recalled Thursday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration associated the product with reported salmonella cases. 

The cucumbers are packaged in bulk containers with the company label on it or in generic white or black plastic crates with a sticker that has the grower’s name, Agrotato, S.A. de C.V. 

The produce was shipped across the United States and Canada, including to Alberta, British Columbia, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Ontario.
