E. coli Outbreak in Spinach
On September 14 2006, an alert was issued by the Food and Drug Administration because of an outbreak of E. coli in several states. The source of the outbreak is believed to be bagged fresh spinach and consumers are being warned to not eat bagged fresh spinach at this time.
Symptoms of illness may include diarrhea with bloody stools; a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) may also occur but is more likely in young children and the elderly. Serious kidney damage may result in death.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration now reports that one person has died, 14 suffered kidney failure and at least 94 in 20 states were ill after eating suspected contaminated pre-packaged spinach, at least some of it packed by California-based Natural Selection Foods LLC/Earthbound Farm.
Additional cases have been reported expanding the number of states to include California, Indiana, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Wisconsin health authorities reported the E. coli fatality was a 77-year-old woman from Manitowoc who died September 7; 29 cases of E. coli were reported to the Centers of Disease Control in Wisconsin alone.
If you have experienced symptoms of illness and been diagnosed with a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS),associated with E. coli believed to be caused by contaminated spinach, call or email us for a free case evaluation.
