E Coli Symptoms & Treatment – Ecoli Food Poisoning Bacteria Outbreak

The FSIS, the Food Safety and Inspection Services division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, announced recently that Valley Meat Company is recalling approximately one million pounds of frozen ground beef patties as well as bulk ground beef products due to possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination.  These products were distributed to both institutional foodservice providers and retail outlets in California, Arizona, Oregon, Texas and internationally.  The ground beef patties and bulk products were produced between October 2, 2009 and January 12th of this year.

July 15th is when the FSIS first became aware of the problem.  The California Dept. of Public Health notified FSIS of a small cluster of the E. coli illnesses, which indicated a rare strain.  Six people became ill with E. coli food poisoning between April 8 and June 18 of this year, and another patient was later identified to have become ill in February, bringing the total to seven individuals.

The ground beef products involved in this recall bear the “EST. 8268″ inside the USDA mark of inspection, and product codes affected include 25709 through 01210.

E. coli food poisoning bacteria usually causes only mild symptoms in most healthy individuals. These symptoms may include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever.  E. coli food poisoning may pose a serious risk to certain individuals including young children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with a weakened immune system.  If you have symptoms of E. coli, it is advised that you seek medical attention.

Contact a New York food poisoning attorney to learn what rights you have, and if you may be eligible for compensation for those costs related to your illness.

Just a couple of months after Fresh Express salad products caused a salmonella outbreak in the Upper-Midwest states, romaine lettuce based products have been recalled due to possible E. coli contamination.  While this new recall applies mostly to Canada, some of these products were apparently distributed to a few South Dakota retail outlets as well.  The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is advising the public not to eat these products.  Fresh Express is a Salinas, California based manufacturer.

The products included in this recall have best before dates of July 9 through July 12.  These products include:

Fresh Express advises consumers to dispose of any of the above recalled salad mixes and asks those with questions to call 800-242-5472 between the hours of 5 am and 8 pm Pacific Time Monday through Friday.

So far, there have been no illnesses associated with the potentially contaminated Romaine lettuce products.  Several weeks after the April-May 2010 recall due to salmonella outbreak in the Upper-Midwest, Fresh Express recalled various ready-to-eat salads that were distributed and sold across the nation in 26 states, including Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Washington and Wyoming.

E. coli food poisoning usually causes only mild symptoms in healthy individuals, which may include nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.  However, individuals such as the very young, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems may be at risk of developing serious complications such as HUS which affects the kidneys and can be life threatening.

If you have become ill with E. coli after consuming foods that are possibly contaminated, contact a New York food poisoning attorney to discuss legal rights you may have.  Brown Chiari are Buffalo NY Personal Injury Lawyers.

Approximately 66,000 pounds of ground and tenderized bison products have been recalled by a Henderson, Colorado company, Rocky Mountain Natural Meats.

5 people in Colorado and 1 in New York have been identified with an indistinguishable PFGE pattern after becoming ill.  FSIS was continuing an on-going investigation in to a cluster of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses in Colorado when they determined there was a relation between the cluster of illnesses and bison products.  Those affected became ill between the dates of June 4 and June 9 of this year.  FSIS, the CDC and the FDA, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the New York Department of Health are working in conjunction on this investigation.

The products involved in this recall include:

· 12-oz packages of “GREAT RANGE BRAND ALL NATURAL BISON STEAK MEDALLIONS.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 23 and June 24, 2010

· 12-oz packages of “GREAT RANGE BRAND ALL NATURAL BISON SIRLOIN STEAKS.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 20, June 23 and June 24, 2010

· 16-oz packages of “GREAT RANGE BRAND ALL NATURAL GROUND BISON.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 21, June 22 or June 24, 2010.

· 16-oz packages of “NATURE’S RANCHER GROUND BUFFALO.” These products have a “sell or freeze by” date of June 22, 2010.

· 16-oz packages of “THE BUFFALO GUYS ALL NATURAL GROUND BUFFALO 90% LEAN.” These products have a lot number of 0147.

· 15-pound boxes of “ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATURAL MEATS, INC. BISON 10 OZ SIRLOIN STEAK.” These products went to restaurants and bear a Julian Code of 0141.

Consumers will find the establishment number “EST. 20247″ inside the USDA mark of inspection.  The recalled bison products were distributed to food service distributors in Utah and Arizona, as well as retail establishments nationwide.  The sell-by dates have since passed, but the FSIS and Rocky Mountain Natural Meats urge consumers to check their freezers for any possibly contaminated bison and dispose of the product or return it to the point of purchase.

E. coli food poisoning produces mild symptoms including nausea or vomiting, dehydration, diarrhea and low grade fever.  Some individuals may be more susceptible to serious complications such as kidney failure or HUS.  Those most at risk include young children, the frail or elderly, and those with a weakened immune system.  Seek medical assistance if you develop symptoms after eating foods that could possibly be tainted with the E. coli bacteria.

A Bay Shore, NY firm, Crown I Enterprises, is recalling about 3,700 pounds of ground beef products that are feared to be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.  The recall was announced on June 22nd by the FSIS division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The products believed to be contaminated were produced on June 11 and June 15 2010, and were distributed to Connecticut, New Jersey and New York food service institutions.  So far, no reports of illness have been associated with the tainted ground beef products, which were discovered through FSIS microbiological sampling.  This recall has been labeled a Class I, which means that a health hazard exists to those who consume the recalled product, and that those who do may likely experience serious or adverse effects on their health.

The ground beef products that are subject to recall include:

24, 8-ounce burgers in 12-pound boxes of “W.B. STOCKYARD, KEEP REFRIGERATED, BURGER FRESH, WB HOME STYLE 8 OZ.”

32, 6-ounce burgers in 12-pound boxes of “W.B. STOCKYARD, KEEP REFRIGERATED, BURGER FRESH 6 OZ.”

48, 4-ounce burgers in 12-pound boxes of “W.B. STOCKYARD, KEEP REFRIGERATED, BURGER FRESH, 4 OZ.”

10-pound boxes of “W.B. STOCKYARD, KEEP REFRIGERATED, BEEF GROUND/EXTRA LEAN.”

10- and 20-pound boxes of “W.B. STOCKYARD, KEEP REFRIGERATED, BEEF GROUND 80/20.”

On these products, consumers should look for the establishment number “EST. 20889″ inside the USDA mark of inspection.  Additionally, these products are marked with Julian dates of “10164″ and “10166.”

Consumers who have questions or concerns about this recall are asked to contact the Vice President of Operations of the company, Kevin Peterson, at 631-289-8401, ext. 2222.

E. coli food poisoning causes flu-like symptoms in most individuals that include dehydration, bloody diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.  In some individuals, severe complications may develop such as kidney failure due to HUS.  The individuals most at risk to health issues from E. Coli food poisoning include very young children, the frail or elderly, and those with a compromised or weakened immune system.

If you have become ill after eating these products, seek medical attention at once, especially if you belong to a high-risk group.  Contact a New York food poisoning attorney to learn about rights you may have in regards to compensation for costs associated with your illness.

35,000 pounds of ground beef products are being recalled by a South Gate, California establishment South Gate Meat Co.  These products are possible tainted with E. coli O157:H7, according to an announcement made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s FSIS recently.  A positive result for E. coli was discovered when FSIS performed microbiological sampling.  To date, no illnesses have been reported which are linked to these recalled products.

The packages in question bear establishment number “EST. 6217″ inside the USDA mark of inspection.  These products were shipped to restaurants around the Orange County area and Los Angeles, and were produced between the dates of June 7, 2010 and June 21, 2010.  The South Gate Meat Co. products affected are:

*20-, 30- and 40-pound bulk packages of “SOUTH GATE MEAT CO. GROUND BEEF.”

*30-, 40-, and 50-pound bulk packages of “SOUTH GATE MEAT CO. COARSE GROUND BEEF.”

*10- and 20-pound packages of “SOUTH GATE MEAT CO. GROUND BEEF PATTIES.”

Why have there been so many problems with contaminated beef recently?  Part of the problems are due to the sourcing of fat and gristle by slaughterhouses that is combined with better quality cuts of meat that results in the mixes you see in your grocery store, such as “80% lean,” “90% lean,” and so on.  The percentage of the meat that is not lean often comes from trimmings shipped in from various other plants.  Each plant is actually more prone to E. coli food poisoning bacteria and other bacteria because cows are often slaughtered in close proximity to their own waste.

Those with questions or concerns about this recall are asked to call South Gate’s owner, John Dritsas, or vice president Angelo Dritsas at 323-564-1701.

E. coli bacteria usually produces mild symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and nausea.  Certain individuals are at an increased risk of experiencing serious complications including the elderly, young children and those with weakened immune systems.

Anyone experiencing symptoms of E. coli food poisoning should seek medical attention.  If you have become ill after eating contaminated products involved in a recall, contact a Buffalo personal injury attorney to learn about any rights you may have.  An experienced food poisoning attorney can help to ensure your properly reimbursed for any medical bills, health issues, lost wages and possibly other financial compensation.

In recent weeks, at least 33 people in Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee have become infected with E. coli through lettuce distributed by Freshway Foods, according to the final update issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

According to the report, three New York residents developed HUS (hemolytic uremic syndrome) due to the E. coli O145 infection, two of these teenage students from Wappingers Falls.  The third is a freshman at Daemen College in Amherst.  Freshway Foods, an Ohio based distributor of romaine lettuce, has been implicated as the cause of the E. coli bacteria that has so far sickened 26 people.

The report by the CDC continues to state that a single unnamed farm is where the tainted lettuce that is distributed by Freshway came from, and other reports have pointed fingers at a Yuma Arizona farm, which is a region known for producing the most winter lettuce in the United States.  The FDA continues to work with state health departments in order to determine at what point in the distribution chain the contamination was likely to have occurred.

According to the CDC, the latest tally of those sickened by the E. coli outbreak include 11 confirmed and 2 probable in Michigan, 5 confirmed and 2 probable in New York, 8 confirmed and 3 probable in Ohio, 1 confirmed in Pennsylvania, and 1 confirmed in Tennessee.  So far, one victim in New York has filed suit against the responsible parties.

Devon Beer, Vice President of Freshway Foods, stated that the company worked with the FDA to trace the tainted lettuce to an unidentified Yuma grower.  According to Beer, the company ceased buying the romaine lettuce from Yuma on May 12.

E. coli food poisoning usually causes only mild symptoms in healthy individuals, but can cause serious and even fatal complications in certain people, including young children, the elderly, and those with a weakened immune system.  Seek medical attention if you become ill after eating foods that are possibly contaminated with E. coli.  Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and occasional fever.

If you are injured by a food poisoning incident and have mounting medical bills, you should definitely consider contacting an experienced food poisoning attorney to review your case and let you know your rights in your situation.

The recent recall of romaine lettuce by Freshway Foods has resulted now in 22 illnesses, up from a day or two ago.  Last month, two students from the Wappinger School District have fallen victim to E. coli O145 food poisoning induced cases of HUS (hemolytic uremic syndrome) and were hospitalized at Westchester Medical Center.  The students hospitalized attend Roy C. Ketcham High School, John Jay High School, Wappingers Junior High School and Van Wyck Middle School.  In all, 4 students have been hospitalized, two with HUS.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a serious, often life-threatening complication of an E. coli bacterial infection.  It is now known that HUS is responsible for the majority of cases of acute kidney failure in childhood.  Of all of the cases of HUS that develop in North America, E. coli O157:H7 is responsible for over 90% of them. Toxins called Shiga-like toxin develop from E. coli bacteria, entering the cells that line the large intestine.  These toxins are responsible for numerous changes in the blood, which causes cellular debris to accumulate in the tiny blood vessels of the body.  This causes a disruption of the clot-breaking mechanisms, which leads to the formation of tiny clots in the blood-vessel rich kidneys, causing impaired function and possible damage to other organs in the body.

Approximately 10% of individuals who become ill with E. coli O157:H7 will develop HUS, most of these young children.  Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome can cause permanent damage to the brain, liver, pancreas and heart.  Once HUS develops, it is extremely hard to predict how severe it will become.

These recent cases of HUS reported in New York are not the first.  In 2006, several New York residents were made severely ill, and two young girls developed HUS.  One was hospitalized for two weeks, the other already in advanced kidney failure when she entered the hospital.  She was on hemodialysis for six consecutive weeks.

E. coli food poisoning can be life-threatening.  While most healthy individuals only develop mild symptoms, some experience serious complications.  Young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems should be especially cautious if you develop symptoms of E. coli, and seek medical attention at once.

A New York food poisoning attorney will discuss with you your rights, and whether you may be entitled to compensation for expenses related to your illness.  Experienced personal injury lawyers in New York can help you to determine whether you have any reason to investigate your situation legally.

Recently, as many as 47 people have become sickened due to what is believed to be an outbreak of E. coli food poisoning O145 in New York, Ohio and Michigan.  Across the 3 states, 15 of these illnesses have been confirmed by laboratory testing.  Of the other 32 individuals thought to be sickened by E. coli, test results are still pending.

Several have become ill in New York lately, and these illnesses are believed to be linked to the Michigan and Ohio outbreaks of E. coli O145 as well.  It seems that most of these individuals are college students, particularly those attending Daemen College in Buffalo.  Across all three states, it seems to be college students who have been hit the hardest.

While four food sources have been tested for the bacteria to date, nothing has turned up to indicate the source of this outbreak so far.  Susan R. Cerniglia, a spokeswoman for Washtenaw Country Public Health, stated that samples tested in Michigan were not contaminated with E. coli O145, but this did not come as a surprise since the samples were collected after individuals became ill and developed e. coli symptoms of infection.

This outbreak affects students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and Ohio State University in Columbus.  There are 8 confirmed cases of the infection in Michigan, 5 in Ohio, and 1 confirmed in New York, where at least 11 more may be affected.

Washtenaw County Public Health issued a news release on April 29th stating that “Local, state and federal health officials are working together to identify a food source, supplier, or distributor common to the affected areas.”

Epidemiological and trace-back investigations will be carried out by federal and state agencies; in the meantime, public health departments in these areas affected in New York, Michigan and Ohio counties are recommending anyone who develops symptoms of gastroenteritis to seek medical attention at once.  Symptoms include abdominal cramps, nausea, diarrhea and occasional fever.

Foodborne illnesses normally cause only mild symptoms in healthy individuals, but can lead to serious complications in very young children, the elderly or those with a weakened immune system.  Contact a New York food poisoning attorney with questions about E. coli, and to learn about any rights you may have.  Unfortunately, not all personal injury attorneys in New York have experience in food poisoning cases, so make sure you choose a law firm with food poisoning experience.

Four Mile Prison, a Canon City, Colorado prison housing about 500 inmates, has recently been hit with an E. Coli outbreak that has sickened 13 inmates.  Three of these cases have been confirmed through testing for the bacteria.  This correctional facility houses only male inmates.

This recent outbreak was announced by the Colorado Department of Corrections, who stated that the state health department is investigating to determine the source of the outbreak.  Kitchens at the prison have been checked off as being sanitary following inspections.

While the investigation continues, the Department of Corrections is working in conjunction with the CDPHE in order to stop the spread of the bacteria, and is taking all necessary precautions.  Katherine Sanguinetti, DOC spokeswoman, stated that the outbreak was discovered on April 22nd, and that three inmates were receiving E. Coli treatment for their illnesses at the correctional center infirmary.  She said that if the three prisoners become seriously ill, they will be transferred to the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility infirmary, which is located in Canon City as well.

A large percent of E. Coli food poisoning infections are caused by foodborne illness, and Sanguinetti stated that none of the inmates who were ill had been working at the prison dairy.

While estimates are not exact, microbiologists approximate that over 70,000 Americans are sickened each year from E. Coli bacterial infections.  The largest source of these infections is ground beef, and about 5 to 15% of these 70,000 will develop HUS, which can be life threatening.

Foods that often contain the bacteria include ground beef, sausages, unpasteurized milk and cheese, lettuce, spinach and other drinks that are not pasteurized, such as apple juice or cider.  Most people who become sick with E. Coli develop mild E. Coli symptoms that go away on their own.  These symptoms include nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting.  Certain groups of individuals may develop serious complications, including young children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

If you develop symptoms of E. Coli, see your doctor.  You may consider contacting a New York food poisoning attorney to determine if you may be eligible for compensation of costs related to your illness.  Personal injury attorneys can often times quickly determine whether you have a qualifying cases related to your illnesses.

Despite what health officials thought were appropriate hygienic practices, E. coli has spread through a Vancouver, Washington daycare leaving one child dead and three other ill.  A 4-year-old boy died recently, one of the four children hospitalized because of the infection.  The facility, Fletch Family Daycare, is now closed.

Dr. Alan Melnick, a health officer with the Clark County Washington health department, said that the other three children have since been released from the hospital.  Melnick declined to offer any further details concerning the young boy who died. According to him, the health department first learned of the first hospitalization related to E. coli O157:H7 bacteria strain on March 19th of this year.

The daycare is owned and operated by Dianne and Larry Fletch, and has been open since 1990.  Recently, the center cared for approximately 22 children.  Up to this point, no complaints had ever been filed against the daycare.  Health officials closed the daycare on April 2 when it became evident that E. coli food poisoning was spreading from person to person, but found that the hygienic practices of the business were acceptable.  So far, officials have not been able to pinpoint the exact source of the outbreak .  Melnick stated that until affected staff present no presence of the bacteria during two consecutive tests, the daycare facility will remain closed.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that daycare centers are a common setting of E. coli food poisoning outbreaks that spread person to person.  The bacteria are normally spread through fecal-oral contact.  Children often do not wash their hands thoroughly after visiting the toilet, which can lead to spread of the pathogen.

Larry Fletch, owner of the in-home daycare, stated in an interview to KGW-TV that the death of the 4-year-old boy was horrible, and that they had known him since before he was born.  He also stated that they have been trying to help the family and were close to the boy, as they are to all of the children they care for.

Young children are particularly susceptible to contracting HUS, or hemolytic uremic syndrome after becoming infected with E. coli.  This often leads to kidney failure, and it is estimated that about 5 to 15% of people infected with E. coli develop HUS.

If you have become ill with E. coli food poisoning, contact a doctor at once.  Consult with a New York food poisoning attorney to learn of any rights you may have related to foodborne illness.
