UK – More than 100 sick in UK E. coli outbreak

Food Safety News

Public health agencies across the United Kingdom are searching for the source of an E. coli outbreak that has sickened more than 100 people in less than two weeks.

There have been 113 confirmed cases in the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O145 outbreak since May 25.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), Public Health Scotland, and Public Health Wales are investigating the rise in infections.

There is no connection with the E. coli O145 outbreak reported earlier this year, which was linked to raw milk cheese produced by Mrs Kirkham’s that sickened people in England and Scotland.
