One person in England has died amid an E.coli outbreak linked to lettuce, reports the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The agency confirms 275 cases across the UK, with infections traced to lettuce products. At least 122 people required hospitalization since the outbreak began, prompting recalls of sandwiches and salads by food manufacturers. Symptoms include severe diarrhoea, cramps, vomiting, and fever. The investigation by the Food Standards Agency continues, focusing on identifying the exact source with growers and suppliers. Public health advice stresses hygiene and caution to prevent further spread of the bacteria.
