Dubai: The UAE has confirmed its markets are unaffected by frozen berry products recalled in the US due to potential E. coli contamination. The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment stated that the GreenWise-branded affected products were withdrawn from US markets as a precaution following concerns about possible E. coli contamination.
The ministry's announcement followed checks by regulatory authorities and a review of import and local market distribution data. No contaminated products were found to have entered or been sold in the UAE. E. coli bacteria, commonly found in human and animal intestines, can cause foodborne illness with symptoms such as severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Some strains can lead to serious complications, especially in young children, older individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.
