(CSi) Major retailers and grocery chains have pulled products with Taylor Farms celery from shelves, including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Albertsons, 7-Eleven, Target and Safeway.
Recalled items included pre-made sandwiches, salads and vegetable mixes. Starbucks also removed holiday turkey & stuffing paninis.
A sample of the celery tested positive for E. coli, and 19 people in California, Colorado, Missouri, Montana, Utah, Virginia and Washington were sickened from eating it. Five of those patients were hospitalized and two developed kidney failure, but no deaths were reported, CBS News reported. Costco pulled the salad from all U.S. stores.
The recalls vary by store and state, but so far Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming have all been affected.
No recalls, except for the nationwide Costco chicken salad recall, have affected New York. A full list of recalled items by store and state can be found on the FDA website.
