France pinpoints E.coli outbreak to UK seed firm
France said today that it has halted the sale of three types of seeds linked to a British company after an E.coli outbreak led to eight people being admitted to hospital.
French health officials said the results of tests on two of the eight showed an infection of the same strain of E.coli which killed 44 people – all but one in Germany – and affected another 3,700 who had been in Germany.
