Tainted Spinach Traced to California
Friday, September 15, 2006
(09-15) 16:50 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --
A California natural foods company was linked Friday to a nationwide bacterial outbreak that has killed one person and sickened nearly 100 others.
Food and Drug Administration officials said Friday that they had received reports of illness in about 20 states.
The outbreak was traced to Natural Selection Foods, based in San Juan Bautista, Calif., and the company has voluntarily recalled products containing spinach.
FDA officials stressed that the bacteria had not been isolated in products sold by Natural Selection Foods but that the link was established by patient accounts of what they had eaten before becoming ill.
The investigation is continuing.
"It is possible that the recall and the information will extend beyond Natural Selection Foods and involve other brands and other companies, at other dates," said Dr. David Acheson, the chief medical officer with the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

We had a Wisconsin woman die after that spinach gave her an E. coli infection.

A California natural foods company
Organic. ORGANIC. AND from Cali. Guess PETA would intervene if they actually killed the bacteria. You know, cruelty to animals and all that...
