Dole Parsley Recalled for E. coli

The parsley was harvested on August 18, 2021, and August 19, 2021.
No illnesses were reported. Instead, the recall was issued after a routine sample collected in Michigan tested positive for Shiga-toxin producing E. coli.
The recalled parsley was distributed in Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Missouri in two pack sizes: 60-count (74 cases) and 30-count (39 cases) with product code 0 07143 000310 3.

The recalled parsley is Buurma® Plain (flat leaf) Parsley with a harvest date of August 30, 2021 from their Gregory, Michigan location.
No illnesses were reported. Instead, a random, routine sample collected at a distribution center in Michigan tested positive for non-O157 STEC (Shiga-toxin producing E. Coli).
The parsley was sold and shipped in 30-count cartons to retailers in Ohio and Michigan between 8/31/21 and 9/3/21.
It was also sold in 60-count crates to wholesalers in Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, and South Carolina between 9/2/21 and 9/4/21.

What is Shiga-toxin producing E. coli?
Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes deadly food poisoning in people who eat contaminated food. The symptoms may include stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, or fever. About 5 to 10% of people who are diagnosed with a STEC infection develop Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), which is a life-threatening type of kidney failure.
