The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has identified Aunt Mid’s Produce Company as the distributor of iceberg lettuce consumed by six Illinois residents during late August to mid-September who have been diagnosed with E coli O157. Those sickened consumed the allegedly-contaminated Aunt Mid's lettuce at Illinois restaurants and food service establishments. Five of these people were hospitalized.
The Michigan Department of Community Health has also identified Aunt Mid’s Produce Company as a distributor of iceberg lettuce consumed by Michigan residents who have been diagnosed with E. coli O157:H7.
The health departments' findings that people who were sickened ate Aunt Mid's lettuce is epidemiological evidence that associates Aunt Mid's with the Michigan-Illinois E. coli outbreak.
