Summary of Recall:  Rich Products Corporation today announced in cooperation with U.S. Department of Agriculture it is voluntarily expanding its recall of various heat treated, not fully cooked frozen mini meals and snack items due to possible E. coli O121 contamination.  This is an expansion of a recall initiated on 3/28/2013.

Hazard: Infection with E. coli O121 can result in dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2-8 days (3-4 days, on average) after exposure to the organism.

This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults. Symptoms of HUS may include fever, abdominal pain, pale skin tone, fatigue, small, unexplained bruises or bleeding from the nose and mouth, decreased urination, and swelling. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.
