When you still can buy recalled product, that sickened dozens and nearly killed children, at Lucky’s Market on 200 Woodside Rd, Redwood City, CA 94061

Legal note:  It is against federal law for anyone to sell or resell recalled products in any setting, including yard sales and thrift shops.

Of course, this follows on Food Safety News reporting on September 5: “Earlier today, Amazon.com was still selling I.M. Healthy soy nut butter that was recalled in March when federal officials traced an E. coli outbreak to the product.”

And, for anyone who forgot the outbreak , the CDC reported on May 4, 2017, that thirty-two people infected with the outbreak strains of STEC O157:H7 were reported from 12 states. Arizona 4, California 5, Florida 2, Illinois 1, Massachusetts 1, Maryland 1, Missouri 1, New Jersey 1, Oregon 11, Virginia 2, Washington 2 and Wisconsin 1. Twelve people were hospitalized. Nine people developed hemolytic uremic syndrome. Twenty-six (81%) of the 32 ill people in this outbreak were younger than 18 years.

Epidemiological, laboratory, and traceback evidence indicated that I.M. Healthy brand SoyNut Butter was the likely source of this outbreak. Several soy nut products were recalled:

On March 7, 2017, The SoyNut Butter Company recalled all varieties of I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butters and all varieties of I.M. Healthy Granola products. On March 10, 2017, The SoyNut Butter Company expanded its recall to include Dixie Diner’s Club brand Carb Not Beanit Butter.

On March 28, 2017, the FDA issued a Suspension of Food Facility Registration Order to Dixie Dew of Erlanger, Ky., after an inspection revealed insanitary conditions at the firm that could affect the safety of finished products. Dixie Dew is the contract manufacturer for SoyNut Butter Company’s soy nut butter products. The close out of the outbreak investigation does not affect the suspension order.

Dear readers, anyone else find this product for sale at grocery stores, online or other wise?

So, anyone else up at I.M. Healthy, FDA or the US Attorney’s office?
