Whether it is major foodborne illness outbreaks at popular national chain restaurants or contaminated food products on store shelves, consumers face serious risks when food providers and manufacturers fail to take reasonable precautions and to use due care.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, a couple in California filed a lawsuit against the maker of SoyNut Butter, IM Healthy, alleging that one of the spouses suffered serious injuries as a\u00a0result of consuming SoyNut Butter that was contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The complaint alleges that as a result of the contamination the wife required hospitalization and extensive medical treatment. The complaint also states that she purchased the product at a popular retail store in California.<\/p>\n<p>The outbreak associated with the soy nut butter spread was first identified by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene after a resident of that state who became ill stated that they\u00a0had consumed SoyNut Butter shortly beforehand. The Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in addition to a number of local health departments, have launched investigations into the outbreak. Recently, IM Healthy initiated a <a href=\"http:\/\/fox13now.com\/2017\/03\/09\/i-m-healthy-soynut-butter-and-granola-recalled-over-e-coli-concerns\/\" target=\"_blank\">recall<\/a> for the product and stated that the voluntary recall applied to its Original Creamy SoyNut Butter product that bears a Best By date of August 30, 2018 or August 31, 2018. The company also stated in the recall announcement that the recall was due in part to the FDA\u2019s notice that it was investigating a potential link between the product and cases of E. coli-related illness.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/lawsuit-filed-regarding-soynut-butter-spread-e-coli-contamination-amid-voluntary-recall\/#more-1434\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food safety is one of the most popular topics in the headlines these days.
