Lettuce E. coli Outbreak Associated with Aunt Mid’s Produce Company Iceberg Lettuce

By admin • October 6th, 2008

The E. coli O157:H7 outbreak associated with Aunt Mid’s Produce Company iceberg lettuce has sickened over 40 people in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Canada.

According to the Michigan Department of Community Health and the Illinois Department of Public Health, many of the people who contracted E. coli infections consumed Aunt Mid’s iceberg lettuce.

Also, according to James McCurtis, a spokesperson for the Michigan Department of Community Health, Aunt Mid’s lettuce is the only kind delivered to the Lenawee County Jail (5 inmates sickened) and the two restaurants in Illinois where the outbreak-strain of E. coli O157:H7 bacteria was also found.
