Orval Kent Foods and Yoder's Amish Macaroni Salad Recall
Due to Possible Contamination with E. coli O157:H7
June 1, 2008 – Orval Kent Foods, an Illinois firm, has recalled about 23,000 pounds of Amish Macaroni Salad after the Ohio Department of Agriculture found E. coli in a single package.
Products included in the recall are Orval Kent Amish Macaroni Salad in 5-pound containers with June 12 expiration dates and Yoder’s Amish Macaroni Salad in 1-, 2- and 5-pound containers with June 7 expiration dates.
The recalled was shipped to suppliers who distribute to retail and food-service establishments in Indiana, Ohio, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
E. coli O157:H7, the strain detected, is potentially deadly and can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration leading to hospitalization. Some people, usually young children and the elderly, develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) a form of kidney failure that can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
All laboratory-confirmed cases of E. coli O157:H7 that have been linked to a food product are actionable, meaning the sickened person has the right to sue responsible parties for compensation. Patients with laboratory-confirmed cases of E. coli should contact an E. coli lawyer immediately.
