In Germany an outgrowth was connected this summer outbreak with more than 3,000 cases of O104 Escherichia coli infection eventually fenugreek seeds. Cases were also in a number of other countries, including France.

From December to August 2011, 250 cases of infections with e. coli O157 PT8 in the UK were reported.

Dr. Andrew Wadge, Chief Scientist at the food standards agency, said: ' Unfortunately, it is a myth that a little dirt do you harm; Ground can sometimes carry harmful bacteria, and although food producers clean have good systems vegetables, the risk can never fully be eliminated. Control of infection of e. coli O157 is based on an awareness of all possible sources of bacteria and high standards of hygiene, where it can exist.

It is also important to thoroughly wash hands boards, knives and other utensils as chop also clean after the preparation to prevent vegetables to cross-contamination.'
