The CDC and several State Health Departments are investigating an outbreak of
E. coli infections that is possibly linked to the recalled products. So far no
product has tested positive, and the investigation is ongoing.
Symptoms of E.coli O157:H7 exposure could include stomach cramps and diarrhea,
including diarrhea with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can
recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney
failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS is most likely to occur
in young children and the elderly. If any of the described symptoms are
exhibited, medical attention should be sought.
To date, Stop & Shop has not received any reports of illnesses associated with
consumption of these products. Customers may call Stop & Shop Customer Service
