The California Department of Public Health brought this problem to light after tracking a cluster of matching E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria in six people from April to June. After reporting the situation to FSIS, the state subsequently found a seventh person sickened by the same genetically matched strain of E. coli. The outbreak remains under investigation.
Pritzker Olsen is a leading practitioner of foodborne illness litigation with a record of winning food poisoning lawsuits against meatpackers, food producers, restaurants and retailers. Under federal law, E. coli 0157:H7 is banned from ground beef. Congress passed the law to shift food safety responsibility onto the purveyors who profit from the sale of the product.
