Smucker Company are urging customers who purchased the contaminated to stop using the products and dispose of them.

Ron Simon
, a national Flour
E. coli Lawyer
, stated “E. coli serogroups O26, O111, and O103 are the non-O157 serogroups that most often cause illness in the United States. The non-O157 STEC are not nearly as well understood, partly because current protocols do not test for them. The failure to test for non-O157 STEC is due in large part to the fact that such serotypes are difficult to detect.”
