E. coli outbreak sickened more than 80 people, but details didn't surface

News


Abstract

Food safety inspections are being scaled back and the public was not notified after an investigation into E. coli contamination. Colton George felt sick. The 9-year-old Indiana boy told his parents his stomach hurt. He kept running to the bathroom and felt too ill to finish a basketball game. Days later, he lay in a hospital bed, fighting for his life. He had eaten tainted salad, according to a lawsuit against the lettuce grower filed by his parents on April 17 in federal court for the Southern District of Indiana.
