E. coli outbreak put at least 86 people in hospital
Briefly

At least 86 people were admitted to hospital for E. coli symptoms linked to an outbreak thought to be caused by some pre-packed sandwiches containing lettuce...But all of the confirmed cases developed symptoms before 31 May.
"Although we are confident in the source of the outbreak being linked to a small number of salad leaves, which we identified early on through extensive food-chain analysis, work continues to identify the root cause of the outbreak with the growers, suppliers and manufacturers, so that actions can be taken to prevent a reoccurrence."
As of Tuesday, the confirmed E. coli cases include: 168 in England, 56 in Scotland, 29 in Wales, and three in Northern Ireland...Symptoms can include diarrhea, bloody stools, stomach cramps, fever, and vomiting.
