Starbucks Corp. pulled its holiday turkey paninis from 1,347 U.S. locations last week after the sandwiches were tied to the same E. coli recall that struck Costco Wholesale Corp.
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.
