Consumers are being encouraged to throw out or return cucumbers, or products with cucumbers, bought from Safeway.

The grocery store chain has recalled the vegetable because they may be contaminated with salmonella.

The recall applies to fresh field cucumbers in addition to products that use the cucumbers, such as vegetable trays, Greek salad, sandwiches, and sushi.

Symptoms from salmonella include fever, nausea, and stomach cramps. Children, pregnant women, and elderly people are more likely to get seriously ill after eating the product.

The cucumbers are also being recalled in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta Safeway stores.
