ORIGIN OF CONTAMINATED SPINACH PINPOINTED IN CURRENT OUTBREAK
FDA has determined that all spinach in the current outbreak of infection with the dangerous bacterial strain E. coli O157:H7 has traced back to Natural Selection Foods LLC, of San Juan Bautista, Calif. One death has occurred in the outbreak, along with 29 instances of kidney failure and 97 hospitalizations. FDA anticipates that producers of spinach and other leafy greens will now develop a plan to minimize the risk of another outbreak.
