Cozy Vale Creamery has issued a recall for its raw milk and cream products due to the detection of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) in a sample. The strain found is not the same as the one that caused recent illnesses in Washington residents. The investigation into … See More
the matter is ongoing. The products were distributed across Western Washington. The recall was initiated after local health partners discovered the presence of STEC in the products during routine testing.

The recalled products include Cozy Vale Creamery raw milk and cream sold in gallon, half-gallon, quart, and pint containers with best by dates from 2/18/24 to 2/29/24 and 3/18/2024 to 3/28/2024. The specific batch and UPC details were not provided.

E. coli bacteria normally live in the intestines of humans and animals. Many strains of E. coli bacteria exist, and most of them are harmless or beneficial to human health. STEC are strains of E. coli that produce Shiga toxin (such as E. coli O157:H7) and can cause serious illness in people.

If you have the recalled Cozy Vale Creamery products at home, do not drink or use them. You can return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

In case you are experiencing E. coli symptoms such as watery diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting; stomach cramps; and mild fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Lucky charms cereal, Yuba City, CA, USA

1 week ago reported by user-rjnwk368

not the first time the Lucky Charms illness has struck. I’ve been suspicious of the cereal’s association to this affect in the past but didn’t feel certain until of the connection until today. I usually eat two bowls of cereal but my primary gotos are FrostedFlakes and FrostedMiniWheats. I eat the lucky charms from my kids’ supply when I don’t have my gotos available. My kids are little and only eat smaller portions. I’m done buying this stuff for them—something is up with the cereal’s ingredients. Why are they putting in something that causes this sort of GI response? #LuckyCharms  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Heartburn

was. So I just assumed, you know, I didn't know it was the beef patties until I just opened a second pack about an hour and a half ago. And I am nauseous again and I feel like I want to throw up.

I tried to call all these, but you can't call their phone and because it said a recording, that's how we save money. We don't have phones in the store, but I am going to go in there tomorrow and tell the manager. But Oh yeah, I just realized it's got to be that because that's the only thing I eat and I feel really nauseous right now. And I already feel like I'm going to have diarrhea right now. My stomach is rumbling. Thank you.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Bloody Stool
