Three people in Idaho and a woman from Longview have beensickened in a multistate outbreak of E. coli that killed one personin Wisconsin, health officials said.
Food and Drug Administration officials believe the cases arelinked to raw, packaged spinach, and the FDA has advised people notto eat it.
In Washington, health officials said Friday that the outbreak ofE. coli had sickened a woman from Longview, who was tested inOregon.
Officials were still investigating and could not say Fridaywhether the spinach was purchased in Washington, said Deanna Mill,spokeswoman for the Washington Department of Health.
In Idaho, three people were sickened, with one hospitalized, saidRoss Mason of the state Department of Health and Welfare. Thatperson has been released, and all the victims are recovering. Theillnesses occurred in Ada, Canyon and Twin Falls counties.
"Although we have identified packaged spinach as the probablesource, no one has yet been able to pinpoint the brand or the storesfrom which it was purchased," said Dr. Christine Hahn, Idaho's stateepidemiologist. "Were now trying to pin down the brand."
Idaho has asked all grocery stores to voluntarily remove freshbagged spinach from their produce shelves.
