The agency is looking at the grocery stores and restaurants where people said they ate beef just before they fell ill, it said. It hasn't narrowed in on a specific supplier, distributor or brand of ground beef yet.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is homing in on ground beef as the source of the latest E. coli outbreak in the U.S., the agency said Friday, citing preliminary findings in its ongoing investigation.
The strain has emerged in Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia, with the highest number of cases, 54, in Kentucky, the CDC said in a statement. Those infected get sick an average of 3 to 4 days after eating or drinking something that contains the bacteria, according to the CDC.
