Organic-Food Firm Linked to E. Coli Outbreak

(Washington) An organic-food grower in California, Natural Selection Foods, has been linked to E. coli illnesses in at least 19 states. One person has died and about 100 others have been sickened. Overly-organic packaged spinach, sold by more than 30 companies, is being blamed.

Natural Selection Foods in San Juan Bautista, California, which also conducts business as Earthbound Farm, claims to be the largest provider of organic foods in North America. How comforting.
