Food Safety and E. coli Death
Fred Pritzker and Family of E. coli Victim Speak out on Food Safety
A recent story on WCCO Channel 4 in Minneapolis featured the family of one of the victims of the 2006 E. coli outbreak linked to fresh spinach. The victim, a healthy, active woman, died just days after eating fresh spinach.
Attorney Fred Pritzker, who represents the family, was quoted as saying:
"The pain that is produced by something like this is just off the charts," said attorney Fred Pritzker, who represents the family. Pritzker wants safety improvements in the food industry. "We have the technology, we have the understanding to make this a lot safer but yet no one has the will to do it," he said.
