Spinach Update: Lab Links E. coli to Infant's Death

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has confirmed that the toddler who died of kidney failure was infected by the same E. coli strand found in tainted spinach from the Salinas Valley, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest update on the E. coli outbreak.

The child’s death is the third confirmed death associated with the E. coli outbreak. Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney, the FBI, and the FDA are investigating allegations that spinach suppliers failed to take the necessary steps to ensure the spinach was safe, according to a statement from the U.S Attorney’s office.
