Four in U.S. now linked to German E. coli outbreak
ATLANTA (AP) ? Four people in the U.S. were apparently sickened by the food poisoning outbreak in Europe.
Health officials say three ? two women and a man ? are hospitalized with kidney failure.
It's a complication of E. coli that has become a hallmark of the outbreak. One of the four fell ill while on a plane to the U.S.
All four were in northern Germany in May. Though they didn't stay at the same hotel or eat at the same restaurants, officials are confident that they were infected with E. coli in that country.
Two other cases are being investigated in U.S. service members in Germany.
More than 1,800 people have fallen ill, nearly all in Germany.
A Food and Drug Administration official says produce in the U.S. remains safe. The government has stepped up testing of food from Germany and Spain, but very little is imported from those countries.
