What’s the Problem?

September 12, 2017 – Bravo distributed the papayas to retailers and wholesalers in California from August 10 to August 29, according to an FDA Recall Notice issued Wednesday. FDA notified the importer on Friday that some fruit that had not yet distributed had tested positive for salmonella.

The recalled papayas were grown by Productores y Exportadores de Carica Papaya de Tecomán y Costa Alegre SPR of RL, and packed by Frutas Selectas de Tijuana, S. de RL de CV. It is the 4th Mexican farm identified in FDA’s salmonella investigation.

Bravo has classified the action as “a preventive measure.” Papayas from the other 3 Mexican farms were contaminated with outbreak strains of salmonella bacteria, according to the CDC. As of Sunday, the agency had not posted any information regarding the specific salmonella bacteria detected in fruit imported by Bravo Produce.

The recalled papayas can be identified by the following product codes, which can be found on the side of the packing boxes:

Lawsuits Follow Chipotle Norovirus Outbreak in Virginia

Chipotle Mexican Grill

Two men from Loudoun County, Virginia, are suing Chipotle after they allegedly got sick from eating at the restuarant linked to last month’s norovirus outbreak.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one got sick after eating Chipotle, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

August 3, 2017 – Plaintiffs Kyle Hogan and Patrick Moore claim they got sick after eating at the Chipotle in Sterling, Virginia, on or around July 14, according to NBC Washington. This is the same restaurant where more than 130 people reported falling severely ill last month.

Chipotle says the outbreak was likely caused by a sick employee, not contaminated food. CEO Steve Ells said on a conference call that an internal investigation into the illnesses found that the Sterling location was not adhering to cleaning protocols when the outbreak occurred.

“Based on symptoms reported and these preliminary laboratory results, the cause of the outbreak is believed to be norovirus, though the specific source of the norovirus has not yet been identified,” said Dr. David Goodfriend, director of the Loudoun County Health Department.

A spokesperson for Chipotle said the Sterling restaurant was thoroughly sanitized and the staff was retrained on cleaning protocol. Executives said earlier this week that they will henceforth be enforcing a “zero tolerance” policy for employees who fail to properly follow food safety procedures.

Hogan and Moore are seeking damages in excess of $74,000 for pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, loss of quality of life, medical expenses, travel expenses, emotional distress, lost wages, punitive and/or exemplary damages, and attorneys’ fees.

Update: Salmonella Papaya Outbreak Sickens 200

September 5, 2017 – More than 200 people have developed salmonella infections after eating Maradol papayas imported from Mexico, according to the CDC. Since the last update on August 18, at least 28 more people have been sickened and 2 more states, Florida and South Carolina, have reported illnesses.

What’s the Problem?

July 26, 2017 – The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) says Caribena brand yellow Maradol papayas have sickened at least 47 people, including 12 who were hospitalized and the one who died, according to CBS News.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 12 states have been hit by the salmonella outbreak, including 13 cases in New York, 12 in New Jersey and 6 in Virginia. Other states reporting illnesses include Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah.

Most people with salmonella infections develop symptoms of diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps within 12 to 72 hours of exposure. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days and most people recover without treatment, according to the CDC.

A week after Maryland health officials announced that Caribeña brand yellow Maradol papayas had been linked to a salmonella outbreak, the company that imported the fruit finally issued a recall. Produce distributor Grande Produce LLC said in the July 26 recall notice that it had stopped receiving papaya from the grower in Mexico (which has yet to be identified) that supplied the contaminated fruit.

“Grande Produce has ceased importation of papayas from the grower and is taking all precautionary measures to ensure the safety of its imported produce,” the recall notice said. “The company is also coordinating closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies in their investigations and will provide any assistance possible.”

The recall affects papayas that were distributed from July 10 to July 19; Grande Produce added that there was no salmonella found at their own facilities after testing.

173 Salmonella Infections Linked to Papayas from Mexico

August 22, 2017 – At least 173 people in 21 states have been sickened by eating papayas linked to a farm in southern Mexico, according to ABC 7. The CDC reports that 58 of the salmonella infections were so severe they required emergency hospitalization, and one person in New York City died as a result of his illness.

Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Papayas from Mexico Expands; Second Brand Recalled

August 8, 2017 – Agroson’s LLC is recalling Cavi brand maradol papayas because they were grown on a farm in Mexico that produced other brands of papaya that have been linked to a deadly Salmonella outbreak in the U.S. that has sickened more than 100 people, according to an FDA Recall Notice issued Friday. The New York distributor shipped the papayas to wholesalers in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey who in turn sent the fruit on to retailers and other customers, the agency said.

Second Norovirus Case Linked to Chipotle Restaurant in Virginia

Chipotle Mexican Grill

Health officials have confirmed that a second person tested positive for norovirus after eating at a Chipotle in Virginia that was temporarily closed last week following at least 135 reports of illnesses.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one developed symptoms of food poisoning after eating at Chipotle, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

July 25, 2017 – David Goodfriend, director of the Loudoun County Health Department, who confirmed the second case of norovirus associated with the Chipotle in Sterling, Virginia, stated previously that another diagnosis would be a strong indicator that norovirus was behind most if not all of the 135+ reported illnesses.

The restaurant was voluntarily closed for a “complete sanitization” on July 18 and then reopened the next day, with the company announcing that the problem had been handled and that its food was safe to eat. Nevertheless, Chipotle’s stock fell sharply in response to the incident, according to the Washington Post.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists norovirus as a leading cause of illnesses from contaminated food. Signs and symptoms of the virus include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malaise and abdominal pain.

Goodfriend says some of those sickened were Chipotle employees. Officials said they plan to release additional information as details emerge.

“Based on symptoms reported and these preliminary laboratory results, the cause of the outbreak is believed to be norovirus, though the specific source of the norovirus has not yet been identified,” Goodfriend said. “The Health Department is not aware of any customers becoming ill since the reopening of the facility last Wednesday.”

Chipotle introduced a new food handling protocol last year in response to previous food poisoning outbreaks. In the latest incident, the company dispatched “multiple teams” of sanitizers to the store and alerted local health officials, it said.

Update: Food Poisoning Lawsuits Filed over Chipotle Norovirus Scare in Virginia

August 3, 2017 – Two men from Loudoun County, Virginia, are suing Chipotle for damages they allegedly incurred as a result of eating at the location in Sterling, VA, that was linked to more than 130 reports of illnesses last month. Plaintiffs Kyle Hogan and Patrick Moore are seeking in excess of $74,000 in damages plus attorneys’ fees, in addition to any other relief the court deems fit.

What’s the Problem?

July 20, 2017 – At least 89 food poisoning reports were made to the website iwaspoisoned.com, indicating that a total of 133 customers fell ill after eating at the Sterling Chipotle last week, according to Business Insider.

Chipotle announced Tuesday that it had received a “small number” of food poisoning complaints from customers who ate at the restaurant, and closed the location for 2 days to conduct “a complete sanitization.”

Patrick Quade, founder of iwaspoisoned.com, said dozens of customers came forward complaining of illnesses after eating at the Sterling Chipotle following Business Insider’s article on the outbreak. Symptoms reported included vomiting, diarrhea, severe stomach pain, dehydration, and nausea, all of which are consistent with norovirus.

Chipotle has since reopened the Sterling location after sanitizing it during the 2 day closure.

“While the restaurant was closed, multiple teams performed complete sanitizations of all surfaces,” said Chipotle CEO Steve Ells. “We also provided support to any customers or employees who had reported illness to ensure their well-being.”

Norovirus is different from E. coli, the bacteria that led to a multi-state outbreak at Chipotle restaurants in 2015.

The virus is the most common cause of foodborne illnesses in the U.S., with more than 21 million cases annually. Cases of norovirus stemming from restaurants can often involve a worker who failed to wash his or her hands after going to the bathroom.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall for 3 brands of hummus that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that causes severe food poisoning illness.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one had symptoms of food poisoning after eating hummus, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

June 21, 2017 – According to an FDA Recall Notice issued Monday, the following hummus products are being recalled for potential listeria contamination:

  • Marketside Classic Hummus with Pine Nuts
  • Fresh Foods Market Artisan Hummus with Pine Nuts
  • Lantana White Bean Hummus with Pine Nut and Herb Topping

Knoxville, Tennessee-based House of Thaller has voluntarily recalled certain batches of 10-ounce containers after one of the company’s suppliers warned that its ingredients could be tainted with listeria.

Affected products were distributed to grocery stores across the U.S. between April 18 and June 13, and in Canada on April 20.

Anyone who purchased hummus affected by the recall should discard it immediately or contact House of Thaller for information about how to get a refund. You can also check the product’s 7 digit use-by code that starts with a W on the FDA’s website.

Listeria infection, or listeriosis, mainly affects pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and adults with compromised immune systems. However, in some cases patients without these risk factors may develop the infection. Signs and symptoms of listeriosis include:

  • Fever
  • Muscle aches
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea

If the infection spreads to the nervous system, symptoms may include:

  • Headache
  • Stiff neck
  • Confusion or changes in alertness
  • Loss of balance
  • Convulsions

To date, no listeria infections or other illnesses have been associated with the hummus recall.

SoyNut Butter Co. Files for Bankruptcy Amid E. Coli Outbreak

I.M Healthy SoyNut Butter Recall

Glenview, Illinois-based SoyNut Butter Co. has filed for bankruptcy after an E. Coli outbreak linked to its soy nut butter products sickened at least 32 people in a dozen states.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one developed symptoms of food poisoning after eating soynut butter, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit against the SoyNut Butter Co. and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

May 17, 2017 – Stephen Grubb, President and majority shareholder of SoyNut Butter Co., listed some victims of the E. coli outbreak as creditors with “unknown” amounts owed to them in a Chapter 7 filing in U.S. Bankruptcy court in Illinois, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) received reports of at least 32 people — 26 of whom were children — in 12 states that were diagnosed with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7, which was found in I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butter and the company’s manufacturing facility.

On March 4, SoyNut Butter Co. issued a nationwide recall for some of its I.M. Healthy Original Creamy SoyNut Butter after the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) alerted it to the presence of E. coli in the product.

Three days later, the recall was expanded to include I.M. Healthy Granola. It was later revealed that the FDA had informed it of a positive E. coli test of its products made by a contract manufacturer, Dixie Dew Products.

The bankruptcy filing effectively puts lawsuits filed by E. coli victims on hold for the time being. Insurance coverage held by SoyNut Butter Co. and Dixie Dew Products will total about $12 million and can only be used to compensate outbreak victims, not other creditors, assuming the manufacturer also declares bankruptcy.

If both SoyNut Butter Co. and Dixie Dew Products go bankrupt, retailers who sold E. coli tainted products could also be liable to victims. Those include Target, Amazon and other major retailers.

A woman from Galveston, Texas, has filed a lawsuit against Blue Bell Creameries alleging that she and her daughter contracted a listeria infection after eating Blue Bell ice cream.

Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one got sick after eating Blue Bell ice cream, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.

What’s the Problem?

April 25, 2017 – According to the lawsuit, Plaintiff Ursula Burton bought Blue Bell ice cream from a Valero gas station in April 2015, and that both she and her daughter became violently ill after eating it.

“As a result of eating the contaminated Blue Bell ice cream, plaintiff Ursula Burton was diagnosed with listeriosis,” the complaint states.

Burton also claims that as a result of her illness she is now lactose intolerant, and that her daughter has developed a sensitivity to dairy products.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced in March 2015 that it was investigating an outbreak of listeria infections linked to ice cream produced at the Blue Bell Creameries plant in Brenham, Texas.

According to health officials, at least 5 patients who were treated at the same Wichita hospital were infected with 1 of 4 rare strains of Listeria monocytogenes. Three of the strains were found in ice cream products produced at the Brenham facility.

Of the infections, 3 deaths were reported. Blue Bell Creameries removed the affected products by picking them up directly from the retailers and hospitals it serves. The company also shut down the production line where the ice cream was made.

Burton is seeking $200,000 to $1 million in damages for pain and suffering, anguish, medical expenses, and damages from physical impairment and lost wages.
