The SoyNut Butter Company is voluntarily recalling their I.M. Healthy Original Creamy SoyNut Butter with the Best By dates of 8-30-18 and 8-31-18. This recall is in response to the FDA’s investigation of an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak that has sickened at least 12 people in five states. The press release from the company states that this recall does not affect any other I.M. Healthy products.
However, the CDC, FDA, and the state governments of Arizona, California, and Maryland are telling consumers not to eat any I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butter products, including their SoyNut Butter coated granola, until more information about the outbreak is available. These products have a long shelf life and are in consumers’ homes.
If you purchased any I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butter products, do not eat them. Throw them away in a sealed or double bagged package so other people and animals can’t eat them, or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
If you ate any of those products and have been experiencing the symptoms of an E. coli infection, see your doctor. Those symptoms include painful stomach and abdominal cramps, a mild fever, diarrhea that may be bloody and/or watery, and possible vomiting.
