Unpasteurized Apple Cider Linked to E. Coli Illnesses Recalled in Canada

Published:

Unpasteurized apple ciders are being recalled in Canada due to possible to E. coli O157:H7 contamination.  There have been reported illnesses associated with the consumption of products sold by Rolling Acres Cider Mill at the St. Jacobs Farmers Market in Waterloo on Oct. 11, 2014 and from the company’s own location in Waterloo between Oct. 10 and 11, 2014.

Noah Martin is also recalling its unpasteurized apple cider sold in plastic jugs at the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market located in Waterloo, Ontario on Oct. 11, and Osoleo Wildcrafters is recalling its unpasteurized Cranberry-Apple Cider sold Oct. 10-12 at The Mustard Seed Cooperative Grocery located at 460 York Boulevard in Hamilton, Ontario.  Food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea. In severe cases of illness, some people may have seizures or strokes, need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis or live with permanent kidney damage. In severe cases of illness, people may die.  Check to see if you have the products in your home. If the products are in your home, do not consume them.  The recalls were triggered by findings by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) during its investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak. CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.
