The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is recalling a second batch of cucumbers in less than a week due to possible salmonella contamination.

The latest shipment of recalled Mexican cucumbers was primarily sold in British Columbia and Alberta from Oct. 12 to Nov. 29, but may also have been available in other provinces, CFIA said in a Dec. 4 notice.
