At least 41 people in 10 states (not including Texas) were infected with Salmonella Stanley after eating the mushrooms, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  Several victims said they ate ramen containing wood ear mushrooms before falling ill.

The recall involves Shirakiku® Black Fungus. The product is an imported dried black mushroom from China. It is also called Kikurage, Black Wood Ear Mushrooms, or Black Fungus.
