E. Coli Still a Threat to Our Food Supply
The E. coli spinach scare still is a real threat to U. S. produce.
The raw spinach that killed several people and made hundreds sick was tainted with a new, mutant strain of E. coli, called e-coli 015787. It is so potent as few as five to ten bacteria can sicken, even kill. Dr. Glenn Morris of the University of Maryland School of Public Health says, "Once this microorganism which carries the toxin sets up housekeeping, there is not much we can do medically. So the focus has to be on prevention." Read a recent investigative report from WJZ News.
