Contaminated soy butter still on sale 6 months after recall
Family friend of third-grade E. coli victim finds contaminated, recalled soy butter on store shelf
Identified as the cause of an E. coli outbreak — and recalled in March — I.M. Healthy “SoyNut Butter” was still on the shelf yesterday at a Luckys Market in California, according to the mother of an 8-year-old outbreak victim.
“We have friends all over the Bay Area who have been watching the situation since Trevor got sick in January,” Erin Simmons said Wednesday. “I couldn’t believe it last night (Tuesday) when a friend sent me the photo of it on the shelf at the Luckys in Redwood City.
“I just can’t imagine another family having to go through what we did because this was still on sale and could make people sick.”
Officials with Luckys did not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment.
