San Francisco Chronicle, "Spinach probe of Salinas Valley; Feds tracking cause of E. coli outbreak"

          The number of people connected to an outbreak of the bacteria E. coli across the country rose to 109 Sunday, and federal authorities announced they will investigate farms in Salinas Valley seeking evidence of what caused the outbreak.
          A 77-year-old woman in Wisconsin has died, and 55 people have been hospitalized in 19 states, said Dr. David Acheson, chief medical officer with the federal Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, part of the Food and Drug Administration. The rest were sickened by the bacteria but didn't require hospitalization.
          Acheson, who called the outbreak one of the larger E. coli outbreaks ever reported, extended indefinitely the federal recommendation not to eat any fresh spinach or products that contain or are packaged with spinach that have a sell-by date of Aug. 17 through Oct. 1.
