Smucker Foods Recalls Flour in the United States for E. coli
Its source was eventually found to be Canadian flour, which triggered a growing string of recalls for flour and flour related products. Hemolytic uremic syndrome occurs in about 3 to 7 percent of E. coli cases. In fact, there have been confirmed cases of E. coli poisoning connected to other Smucker Foods of Canada products. By: James PeacockOver the past few months, an E. coli outbreak has been raging across Canada. Bags of flour were then sent to 19 different distributors and two small retailers across the United States.
Flour recalled for possible E. coli contamination
Additional flour and flour products have been voluntarily recalled in Canada in cooperation with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as part of their ongoing E. Coli investigation. Smucker Foods of Canada Corp. announced a voluntary recall on specific production codes of Golden Temple®, Swad®, and Maya® flour products in the U.S. due to possible E. coli 0121 contamination. Consumers with impacted product are urged to contact the company at 1-888-569-6728 Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. No other Smucker Foods of Canada Corp. products distributed in the U.S. are affected by this recall.collected by :Lucy William
