Apr 30, 2024, 11:30 PM
Federal health officials have identified organic walnuts sold in bulk as the source of an E. coli outbreak affecting multiple states. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that the contaminated walnuts, sold by Gibson Farms, Inc., have led to 12 people being infected, with seven hospitalized and two developing a serious kidney disease. The outbreak spans 19 states, including Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, with the nuts being sold in natural food and co-op stores such as Whole Foods and Market of Choice. Consumers are advised to check if their store had recalled walnuts and to avoid consuming them if unsure.
