US health officials are warning people not to eat raw cake batter as they investigate a multistate outbreak of E. coli linked to cake mix.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that as of July 27, 16 people in 12 states have been reported to have been infected with the same strain of the E. coli bacteria.They range in age from 2 to 73-years-old and 75% of them are children under 18, the CDC said.Seven people had to be hospitalized, the CDC said, including one who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure. No deaths have been reported.
The Food and Drug Administration is looking at purchase records from the locations where sick people bought cake mix to try to find a common brand or production facility, the CDC said.Investigators performed DNA fingerprinting on the bacteria in the sick people's samples and found that they were closely related genetically."This means that people in this outbreak likely got sick from the same food," the CDC said.
