Approximately 6,558 cases of E-Z Spuds Inc. fresh cut onion products, cilantro, parsley, and various other vegetables are being recalled due to potential contamination with Salmonella. The affected products were distributed to manufacturers and food service establishments in the Chicago, IL metro area between July and September 2021. Consumers and businesses should identify the specific produce types and manufacturing dates, ranging from July 14, 2021, to September 09, 2021, to determine if their stock is involved. Because these items were sold to food service providers, they may have been used as ingredients in prepared meals or processed further.
The products may be contaminated with Salmonella, a pathogen that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, but in rare cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses such as arterial infections and arthritis.
