It was also discovered that the shakes were sold to nursing homes and other institutions, so the products have been sourced to a specific location.

All in all the states that were affected by this outbreak were Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and West Virginia, as Wood TV reported.

Those who may be showing symptoms, like fever, muscle aches, nausea, tiredness, vomiting, and diarrhea should seek medical attention. More extreme symptoms include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are also saying that this stems from outbreaks back in 2018 that continue to linger. They're saying the sicknesses are contained to those who consumed the drinks in hospitals and long-term care facilities, like nursing homes.

Both companies have recalled all of the shakes in question and will be handling the situation the best they can.
