One item common in a meal deal has been linked to e.coli (Image: Getty) The UK is dealing with an alarming outbreak of a rare strain of E. Coli , which has already affected more than 200 people.
The source of this diarrhoea-causing bug is believed to be contaminated salad leaves, particularly a type of butterhead lettuce known as Apollo. Despite efforts by food safety chiefs, the exact method of contamination remains unknown. In response to the outbreak, more than 60 sandwiches, wraps, and salads sold in 11 major retailers have been issued with 'do not eat' alerts.

Coli (STEC), a highly infectious strain that can cause severe illness. Salad leaves have a notorious history of being linked to E. C.
