A bottled water company that supplies the store brands for Hannaford and Shaw’s is recalling spring water after learning one of its water sources had evidence of E. coli bacteria.
Niagara Bottling supplies Shaw’s spring water and the Hannaford brand Nature’s Place, as well as the Best Yet brand and others, according to a consumer notice from the company.
While the company says there is no evidence of E. Coli in its water, batches from the Allentown and Hamburg plants, both in Pennsylvania, are subject to the voluntary recall.
“The operator at one of our contracted springs failed to notify us that there was evidence of E. coli bacteria at the spring source,” the company said in the notice.
The affected water is stamped with codes F# BEST BY 08DEC2016 to F# BEST BY 16DEC2016, or A# BEST BY 08DEC2016 to A# BEST BY 16DEC2016.
“No other dates of Niagara bottled water are affected by this recall,” the company states.
E. coli is known to cause food poisoning, urinary tract infections and neonatal meningitis.
