Dole Fresh Vegetables Inc. has recalled 113 cases of curly parsley due to potential contamination with non-O157 Shiga-Toxin producing E. coli (STEC). The recall affects bunches of curly parsley sold in cardboard cases to distributors and individually as bunches tied with twist ties in retail produce departments. This safety issue was identified through testing and affects products distributed to Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Missouri. Consumers should return any affected parsley to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The parsley may be contaminated with Shiga-Toxin producing E. coli, which can cause severe foodborne illness. Symptoms can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting, which can lead to serious complications in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
