About E. coli contamination
Certain strains of Escherichia coli — particularly E. coli O157:H7 and other Shiga toxin-producing strains — can cause severe illness. Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, typically appearing 3 to 4 days after exposure. In a small percentage of cases, especially in children under 5, the infection can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure that can be life-threatening.
⚠ Seek medical attention immediately if you develop severe abdominal pain or bloody diarrhea after consuming a recalled product.

- →Seek medical attention if you develop severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, or vomiting — these can signal a serious E. coli infection.

About the FDA CFSAN
This recall was issued by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), which oversees most packaged foods, produce, seafood, dietary supplements, and bottled water sold in the United States. The FDA monitors the food supply through facility inspections, laboratory testing, import screening, and consumer reports. When a contamination or labeling problem is found, the FDA works with the company on a voluntary recall or requests a mandatory one. Recalls are classified by severity: Class I (reasonable probability of serious harm or death), Class II (possible temporary adverse effects, remote probability of serious harm), Class III (unlikely to cause health effects, but violates regulations).
