The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) has identified a case of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection in a Waldoboro food service worker, according to a Monday evening news release.
The individual handled deli food at Morse’s Sauerkraut in Waldoboro while infectious from April 1 through May 13.
An assessment of the individual’s illness determined that patrons of Morse’s Sauerkraut may be at risk for STEC infection, the Maine CDC announced.
Individuals who purchased deli items from Morse’s Sauerkraut between April 1 and May 13 should watch for symptoms of infection, such as severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting.
