Outbreak Strain Questioned Amid EU Food Ban Moves
Health experts debate whether the new E coli strain is truly new after a prior Korean case in the 1990s. Russia bans vegetables from Spain and Germany, while the EU objects as Italy’s farmers denounce the move. Most cases are in Germany with some travel to Britain. Officials warn hand washing and thorough cooking to prevent spread. The outbreak may be among the deadliest, with 12 deaths tied to a 1996 Japan outbreak and seven in Canada in 2000.
