Finnish authorities have issued a warning after a number of E. coli infections were linked to hamburger patties.
The National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) and Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto) were made aware of several E. coli infections earlier this year after people ate burgers. Municipal inspectors investigated cases locally and took food samples.
E. coli may be present in raw ground (minced) meat and medium-cooked ground meat so patties should always be eaten fully cooked, said the agency.
When handling raw meat, care must be taken to wash hands, utensils and surfaces to prevent the transfer of bacteria to ready to eat foods such as salads.

Morgan Krakow of the Anchorage Daily News reported that Health officials have traced the source of a foodborne illness outbreak that sickened dozens of hospital workers in Homer to a single item, the Department of Health and Social Services said in a release Monday.
It was a Cubano sandwich, experts who investigated the incident think. In fact, it was probably the pulled pork inside of it, said Jeremy Ayers, section manager with the Food Safety and Sanitation Program within the Division of Environmental Health.
When investigating an outbreak, epidemiologists look at people’s symptoms and when they began. They start to form an idea of what dish was the likely offender. In this case a lot of signs pointed to the Cubano, Ayers said.
“[The] statistics that they came up with were pretty compelling that that sandwich was the implicated food item,” Ayers said.
Experts determined that the Homer incident likely involved a pathogen associated with cooked meat and poultry called Clostridium perfringens.
