Thus far, the salmonella outbreak has made more than 300 people sick across 30 states. The first death was a patient in California. According to a statement issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services, the second fatality — which was reported in late August — was a Texas patient who was already suffering from serious underlying health conditions.
The CDC linked the outbreak to tainted cucumbers that were imported from Mexico and distributed by a San Diego-based company, called Andrew and Williamson Fresh Produce, which has since recalled all cucumbers sold under the Limited Edition brand label from Aug. 1 through Sept. 3.
