CDC: Multistate E. coli Outbreak Caused by Meat Products Appears to Be Over
Yesterday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the end to an Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC O157:H7) outbreak caused by contaminated beef products.
Last month, we reported on a multistate E. coli outbreak that was traced back to Adams Farm Slaughterhouse in Athol, MA based on epidemiologic, traceback, and laboratory evidence. The company’s beef, bison and veal products were promptly recalled on September 24th.
