: Food Poisoning Law BlogFour E. coli cases confirmed in Iowa, Illinois
By Pritzker | Ruohonen
Health officials in southeast Iowa and neighboring Illinois have confirmed four cases of E. coli O157:H7, with the latest case confirmed by the Hancock County Health Department in Illinois on Thursday.
Health officials have not determined the source of the illnesses.
According to news reports from the area, two of the Iowa cases were confirmed in Lee County and a third was confirmed in Des Moines County. The most recent case was confirmed across the state line in Hancock County, Ill.
In the past few months there have been numerous E. coli outbreaks linked to beef products. A report issued last week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has shown conclusively that there is a link between distillers’ grain and the prevalence of E. coli in cattle. The grains, which are fed to some cattle, are a byproduct of ethanol production.
