BLOOMBERG: The holiday turkey panini will not be available at Starbucks for the near future.
The sandwiches, part of the chain’s holiday lineup, were recalled in certain locations in California, Oregon and Nevada, said Erin Jane Schaeffer, a spokeswoman for Seattle-based Starbucks. No other markets were affected, and the company hasn’t received any reports of illness, she said.
Cranberry cornbread stuffing in the panini contained celery, the ingredient that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified last week as the likely cause of an E. coli outbreak that has sickened at least 19 people in seven states. After health officials found the bacteria in the celery-and-onion blend used in Costco’s chicken salad, Taylor Farms Pacific Inc. recalled multiple celery products, including the Starbucks sandwiches.
