The FDA says that the organic walnuts that have the potential to be contaminated with E. coli are 'Organic Light Halves and Pieces Shelled Walnuts' produced by Gibson Farms, which has now voluntarily recalled the products.
According to the CDC, the walnuts were distributed to stores in at least 19 states: Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
The CDC says that there have been 12 reported illnesses linked to the recalled walnuts, with seven cases requiring hospitalizations. Unfortunately, two people have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious kidney condition.
