TGD Cuts, LLC is making headlines after initiating a voluntary recall of cucumber-containing products linked to a potential Salmonella contamination.
The recall stems from cucumbers sourced from Bedner Growers Inc., which raised food safety concerns. This move affects various tub and tray items distributed to retail and foodservice outlets across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, and New Jersey. The issue? Possible salmonella exposure, something that can cause anything from stomach cramps to serious health complications, especially in kids, elderly folks, or anyone with a weaker immune system.
The affected products had use-by dates ranging from May 20 to May 28, 2025, meaning they’re technically beyond their prime. But the recall still matters. Even if no illnesses have been reported so far, food safety authorities and TGD Cuts are taking zero chances. It’s about staying ahead of any outbreak before it becomes a real public health problem.
Here’s a quick reference table for the recalled items to help you check your products at home:

TGD Cuts didn’t hold back in addressing the issue, they’ve urged consumers to either toss any affected product or bring it back to where they bought it for a full refund. No middle ground here. The company’s putting safety first and even opened up hotlines for customers to call with concerns, offering detailed contact options like Jennifer Henderson-Adams at ext. #4305 or Stephanie Lyons at ext. #4308 for weekday calls. They’re clearly taking accountability seriously, and that’s a big deal in an era where recalls are becoming more and more common in the fresh produce industry.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also flagged this as part of a broader May 2025 Salmonella cucumber outbreak investigation. While no direct connection has yet been confirmed between TGD Cuts’ products and any reported illness, the potential risk is enough to set off alarm bells. Salmonella isn’t something to gamble with, it can cause everything from basic food poisoning to life-threatening infections if it reaches the bloodstream.
TGD Cuts’ swift voluntary recall reflects how important brand trust and public health transparency are. While the products are likely out of circulation already due to shelf life, this recall still serves as a precautionary reminder of the importance of tracking food sources, especially when it comes to fresh produce.
Anyone who bought any of the affected products should double-check their fridges and act accordingly. Even if you’ve already eaten it and felt fine, it’s better to be safe than sorry. And for retailers or foodservice partners, it’s about maintaining that trust with your customers and making sure recalled items never end up being served.
