E. COLI O157:H7 OUTBREAK IN UNITED STATES ASSOCIATED WITH BAGGED FRESH SPINACH

OTTAWA - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is advising consumers not to eat bagged fresh spinach from the United States at this time, until further notice. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) is reporting an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses in the U.S. that may be associated with the consumption of bagged fresh spinach.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) reports that there are currently no illnesses in Canada directly linked to this outbreak. However, since spinach from the U.S. is regularly imported into Canada, and considering the uncertainty of the source of contamination, consumers are advised not to eat bagged fresh spinach from the U.S. at this time. Packaged spinach is labelled with country of origin. If consumers are uncertain of its origin they can inquire with the retailer.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has reported at least 50 cases of illness in eight different states, including one death and eight cases of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, a form of kidney failure.

The USFDA has not yet confirmed a source of contamination for this outbreak. The CFIA, PHAC and Health Canada are working closely on the investigation of this outbreak situation with U.S. officials.

Consumption of food contaminated with this E. coli O157:H7 bacteria may cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Some people may have seizures or strokes and some may need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis. Although everyone is susceptible to E. coli infection, people with compromised immune systems, young children and the elderly are most at risk for developing serious complications. Individuals who have experienced symptoms of illness after consuming spinach are urged to contact their health care provider.

For more information consumers can call the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342 / TTY 1-800-465-7735.

FDA Statement on Foodborne E. coli O157:H7 Outbreak in Spinach
Update: Monday, September 18, 2006

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will continue to provide the public with regular updates on the E. coli O157:H7 outbreak each day until further notice.
Case Reports

To date, 114 cases of illness due to E. coli infection have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including 18 cases of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), 60 hospitalizations, and one death. Illnesses continue to be reported to CDC. This is considered to be an ongoing investigation.
States Affected

There are now 21 confirmed states: California, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Consumer Advice

FDA advises consumers not to eat fresh spinach or fresh spinach-containing products until further notice.

If individuals believe they may have experienced symptoms of illness after consuming fresh spinach or fresh spinach-containing products, FDA recommends that they seek medical advice.
Symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 Illness

E. coli O157:H7 causes diarrhea, often with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called HUS. HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. The condition can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
Two Recalls

On September 17, 2006, River Ranch, of Salinas, California, announced a recall of packages of spring mix containing spinach. River Ranch obtained bulk spring mix containing spinach from Natural Selections. The following brands are involved: Fresh N' Easy Spring Mix and Hy-Vee Spring mix containing baby spinach, distributed to retailers in Texas, Iowa and New Mexico. Product was packed in 5 oz. bags and 5 oz. plastic trays. Products that do not contain spinach are not part of this recall.

The affected products were also distributed to Canada, Mexico, and Taiwan. No illnesses from these countries have been reported. FDA continues to investigate whether other companies and brands are involved.
Lettuce Safety Initiative

The FDA developed the Lettuce Safety Initiative www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/lettsafe.html in response to recurring outbreaks of E. coli O157:H7 in lettuce. As a result of this outbreak, the initiative has been expanded to cover spinach. The primary goals of the initiative are to reduce public health risks by focusing on the product, agents and areas of greatest concern and to alert consumers early and respond rapidly in the event of an outbreak. This initiative is based on the 2004 Produce Safety Action Plan, intended to minimize the incidence of food borne illness associated with the consumption of fresh produce.

FDA continues to work closely with the CDC and state and local agencies to determine the cause and scope of the E. coli outbreak in spinach. Please check www.fda.gov for updates.
