E. coli outbreak in California
Quote:
The romaine-lettuce E. coli outbreak has been pinned on at least one farm in California with infected reservoir water.
Romaine lettuce infected with the E. coli bacteria strain that sickened people across 15 US states has been traced to at least one farm in California.
Sediment in a water reservoir at Adam Bros. Farms in Santa Barbara County tested positive for the strain, the Food and Drug Administration announced on Thursday.
Though the agency named only one farm, it said the E. coli bacteria strain was likely more widespread.
Investigators said they identified two other California counties, Monterey and San Benito, as possibly linked to the outbreak.
It is the second E. coli outbreak tied to romaine lettuce this year, but officials have said they are not related. The first, earlier this year, sickened more than 200 people and killed five.

The US Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday that it had traced the outbreak, announced on November 20, to at least one location: Adam Bros. Farms in Santa Barbara County.

It said infected lettuce may have also come from nearby Monterey and San Benito counties and that "additional romaine lettuce shipped from other farms could also likely be implicated in the outbreak."
