The Kentucky E. coli O103 outbreak has now risen to 44 sick, as of April 3, 2019, according to news reports. Six people have been hospitalized in this outbreak, but there is no mention if any have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure that can cause strokes. And there are 20 pending cases that are not yet lab-confirmed.
Keeping your refrigerator clean will minimize the opportunity of harmful microorganisms making you sick.
By refrigerating foods, the goal is not to kill the bacteria, but create an environment where foodborne illnesses causing microorganisms cannot grow quickly. Between the temperatures of 40° F – 140° F is the “danger zone,” for many bacteria like Salmonella Enteritidis and Escherichia coli O157:H7 grow best in this range of temperatures. Keeping food below 40°F helps reduce microbial growth, but your food still can become contaminated.
