Seventeen people across 13 states have been affected by an E. coli outbreak, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Officials have yet to confirm the source of the outbreak. Preliminary tests showed similarities to an ongoing outbreak from romaine lettuce in Canada that has caused 41 people to fall ill and has killed one. “This investigation is ongoing, and more information will be released as it becomes available,” a news release from the CDC said. Initial investigation shows that the outbreak began sometime between Nov. 15 and Dec. 8 and has impacted California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Vermont and Washington.
