E. coli Bacteria
I'm worried about drinking E-coli-infected apple juice. How does this happen? What can I do to protect myself from E.coli? what are the symptoms - and remedies?
Yes, I am right to be worried says the doctor. A 1996 outbreak of E.coli poisoning from one famous apple juice company focused attention on the dangers of unpasteurized juice - a product we thought was as wholesome as apple pie. This outbreak came just weeks after a similar one in Connecticut, where 10 people were made ill by unpasteurized apple cider. In both cases, it appears that the juice manufacturers followed all recommended guidelines that apples be brushed and washed before being pressed into juice.
