Many stores in Michigan sold the recalled Farm Rich products that are linked to a 15 state E. coli O121 outbreak. Not coincidentally, Michigan and neighboring states Ohio and Indiana have seven of the 24 cases in the lab confirmed outbreak. That bacteria is one of six non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli that the USDA categorizes as an adulterant in certain raw beef products. Shiga toxin can cause complications such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

If you shop at one of these stores, please check your freezer to see if you have any of the recalled products. You can see the complete list of recalled products, which include mini pizza slices, mini chicken enchiladas, and mozzarella sticks, on our recall page. And if you have experienced the symptoms of E. coli O121, including watery and/or bloody diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, mild fever, nausea, and vomiting, please see your doctor immediately and ask for a stool test for E. coli O121. If you are part of this outbreak, your doctor must inform the CDC so you are included in the case count. It’s crucial that you get treatment, since complications of this bacterial infection can cause kidney failure, stroke, and death.
