According to the CDC, as of January 6, 2022, 10 people were infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 in four states (AK (2), OH (1), OR (1), WA (6)). Consumer purchase data indicate that seven people purchased Nature's Basket Power Greens or Simple Truth Organic Power Greens at grocery stores before becoming sick. These two salad blends consist of organic spinach, mizuna, kale, and chard; the same processor manufactured both brands. To date, no single production code has been identified by the traceback. Records collected indicate that leafy greens used in these products were sourced from Salinas and Imperial Valley, CA, and Yuma, AZ. All the indicated products are no longer on the market. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-e-coli-o157h7-power-greens-packaged-salad-january-2022?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
