WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - An outbreak of E. coli in eight states has
killed one person and sickened at least 49 others, federal health
officials said yesterday in warning consumers nationwide not to eat
bagged fresh spinach.
The death occurred in Wisconsin, where 20 people were made ill,
state officials said. The outbreak has sickened others - eight of
them seriously - in Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New
Mexico, Oregon and Utah, according to federal health officials.
In California, state health officials were investigating a
possible case that could be linked to the outbreak and warned
consumers not to eat the produce.
