Bottle of MilkThe Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) investigation into this outbreak used genetic fingerprinting tests to connect the deaths with Whittier Farms milk.  The outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes has been found in samples obtained from those sickened, milk found at a victim's home, and several samples of milk found at the Whittier Farms processing plant.  These results can be used as evidence in a Whittier Farms lawsuit.
