HAMBURG, Pa., June 22 (UPI) -- Niagara Bottling, a water-bottling company, announced a recall of its products Monday due to a possible E. coli contamination.
The company said spring water bottled at its Pennsylvania facility between June 10 and 18 could be contaminated by the bacteria.
"One of Niagara's spring sources had a positive indication of E. coli," the company said in a public notice. "We have not received any complaints of injury or illness of any kind. As the spring source did not notify us in a timely manner, we have discontinued the use of this source."
The potentially contaminated water was sold under several brand names, including Acadia, Acme, Big Y, Best Yet, 7-11, Niagara, Nature's Place, Pricerite, Superchill, Morning Fresh, Shaws, Shoprite, Western Beef Blue and Wegman's.

Only products with codes that begin with F (for the Hamburg, Pa., facility) or A (for the Allentown, Pa., facility) are included in the recall. Product codes also indicate the date the water was bottled. The first number indicates the number of the production line, the next two numbers are the date, then the month in letters, the year and then the time based on a 24-hour clock. So, for example, A610JUN152000 means the water was bottled at the Allentown facility on production line 6 on June 10, 2015, at 8 p.m.
Anything bottled between 3 a.m. June 10 and 8 p.m. June 18 should not be consumed without first being boiled.
E. coli infection symptoms include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
