Mushrooms recalled in E. coli scare

Mushroom packages from BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc are being recalled due to the suspected presence of the deadly E. coli bacteria.
Anyone who purchased Wellsley Farms brand fresh mushrooms between February 11 and February 19 should not eat them, and can return the product for a refund. You can call 1-800-BJS-CLUB with any additional questions.
As of yet, there are no reported illnesses linked to the mushrooms, and the company says the recall is merely a precaution.
This comes on the back of a December outbreak from contaminated lettuce used by the Taco Bell restaurant chain, and an even more infectious September outbreak, in which 158 people were affected.
