New E. Coli Suspect: Bean Sprouts

German agricultural authorities have blamed Bean Sprouts for the recent outbreak of E. Coli. Authorities have found the farm that is believed to be the source of the outbreak and have shut down production. The health ministry warns against eating bean sprouts, tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce from Germany. In Hamburg Germany alone 22 have died and more than 1,600 have been sicken from this outbreak. It has also taken a toll on the economy. Many people have avoided the local markets in fear of getting E. Coli. Officials have not said when the farm will resume production or when the outbreak is expected to stop.
