There was an outbreak of E. coli this week in Montana that has been linked to Costco Wholesale Corp. and left over 19 persons across seven states suffering from E. Coli.
Health officials encourage anyone with the symptoms, particularly individuals who have eaten chicken salad that is Costco, to visit their physician.
The investigation is continuing and the CDC, along with state and local public health officials, are trying to identify other cases of illness associated with the chicken salad.
It has been determined that the E. Coli outbreak was a celery-and-onion blend that Taylor Farms Pacific Inc. provides to Costco.
The FDA reports those veggie mixes are also sold at 7-11, Safeway, Starbucks, Target, Sams Club and Walmart – including Walmart in Hawaii.
HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS).
Customers who purchased the recalled products should discard or return them for a full refund.
Costco recalled the chicken salad on November 20.
