Concerns over CDC response to E. coli outbreak

The outbreak that sickened the two state residents and 16 others nationally, including one person in California who died, was probably caused by eating “leafy greens,” but a specific green couldn’t be identified, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. The Canadian government’s Public Health Agency announced on Dec. 11 that the outbreak was linked to romaine lettuce.
