A deadly E.coli outbreak in Europe has killed several people and sickened hundreds more.  While authorities found the source in cucumbers and believe it originated in Spain, they cannot yet track the source of this deadly batch of produce.  Cucumbers grown in Spain are distributed throughout Europe, thereby multiplying the potential impact.  The cucumbers are organic and in the U.S. that means there must be documentation to track the produce back to the source.  I presume the same is true for Europe.
