The U.S Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a Seltzer Beef Lebanon Bologna E. coli recall on March 22, impacting bologna manufactured by Palmyra Bologna Company, Inc.
The contaminated bologna may be linked to at least four cases of E. coli O157:H7 food poisoning identified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The bologna food poisoning cases were reported in New Jersey, North Carolina and Pennyslvania between January 28 and February 12, 2011.
E. coli O157:H7 food poisoning can cause dehydration and can be potentially life-threatening if left untreated. Most healthy adults recover from E. coli food poisoning within a few weeks, but young children and the elderly could be at risk for more severe illness. In some cases, E. coli poisoning may lead to a form of kidney failure known as Hemolytic-Urenia Syndrome (HUS).
The bologna was distributed in California, Colorado, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania and was produced in December. Consumers should be on the lookout for 6, 12 and 16-ounce packages of Seltzer’s Beef Lebanon Bologna with lot code 01351 and a best-by date of April 22, 2011.
