Tracking the SoyNut Butter Recall

UPDATED MARCH 24, 2017 WITH ADDITIONAL RETAIL DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION in USA and CANADA

Twenty-three people, twenty of them under 18 years of age, have been infected with E. coli O157:H7, according to an updated report released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The youngest victim is 2 years old.

Ten of the victims have been hospitalized, and seven are suffering from hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a potentially life-threatening complication of E. coli O157:H7 infections.

Illnesses have been reported from nine states, including Arizona (4), California (5), Maryland (1), Missouri (1), New Jersey (1), Oregon (6), Virginia (2) Washington (2) and Wisconsin (1).

Although the SoyNut Butter Co. is headquartered in Illinois, no illnesses have been reported from that state.

All 15 of the victims interviewed by outbreak investigators reported either eating I.M. Healthy brand SoyNut Butter at home (nine people) in the week before they became ill, attending a facility that served I.M. Health brand SoyNut Butter (two people), or attending childcare centers that served I.M. Healthy brand SoyNut Butter and I.M. Healthy brand granola coated with SoyNut Butter (four people).

On March 3rd, The SoyNut Butter Co. recalled certain production date codes of I.M. Healthy Original Creamy SoyNut Butter. This recall was expanded to include all varieties of I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butters and all varieties of I.M. Healthy Granola products on March 7th.

The recall was expanded once more on March 10th to include Dixie Diner’s Club brand Carb Not Beanit Butter (all Best By dates). The Dixie Diner’s Club product was sold only via mail order or online portals.

On March 24th, Pro Sports Club (Bellevue, WA) recalled 36,957 20/20 Life Styles brand Yogurt Peanut Crunch bars (2 oz net wt; lot code B.B. 22JUL17 (best by July 22, 2017), UPC Code 78571 00052) that were manufactured using an ingredient recalled by Soy Nut Butter Company.
