If you haven't already seen this on your local news.... (because you scored 60+++ on that quiz.. j/k!!)
A California natural foods company was linked
Friday to a nationwide E. coli outbreak that has killed one person
and sickened nearly 100 others. The outbreak was traced to Natural Selection Foods, based in San
Juan Bautista, Calif., and the company has voluntarily recalled
products containing spinach.
The company said consumers could call 800-690-3200 for a refund
or replacement coupons for tossed-out spinach products.
Wisconsin accounted for 29 illnesses, about one-third of the
cases, including the lone death.
Other states reporting cases were: California, Connecticut,
Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico,
Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia,
Washington and Wyoming, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
