在大肠杆菌爆发后，一家公司紧急召回沙拉产品

After an E. coli outbreak infected at least 17 people, a food company has decided to recall more than 75,000 pounds of salad products.

在大肠杆菌爆发导致至少17人感染之后，一家食品公司决定召回超过75,000磅的沙拉产品。

Missa Bay, LLC said that the lettuce in these products, which also contain chicken or other meat, could be contaminated. Health officials tested a Ready Pac brand chicken Caesar salad and found it positive for E. coli on Thursday, the USDA news release said.

米萨湾有限责任公司说，这些产品中的生菜可能受到了污染，其中也含有鸡肉或其他肉类。美国农业部的新闻稿说，卫生官员周四对一种Pac牌鸡肉凯撒沙拉进行了检测，发现它对大肠杆菌呈阳性反应。

The items in question were shipped to distribution locations in Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

这些有问题的物品被运往阿拉巴马州、康涅狄格州、佛罗里达州、乔治亚州、伊利诺伊州、印第安纳州、路易斯安那州、缅因州、马里兰州、马萨诸塞州、密歇根州、明尼苏达州、密西西比州、密苏里州、新泽西州、纽约州、北卡罗来纳州、俄亥俄州、宾夕法尼亚州、南卡罗来纳州、弗吉尼亚州和威斯康星州。

Public health officials will keep investigating the E. coli outbreak that has infected at least 17 people in eight states, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday.

美国疾病控制与预防中心周三宣布，公共卫生官员将继续调查此次爆发的大肠杆菌疫情。此次疫情已在美国八个州造成至少17人感染。

The cases, which include seven hospitalizations, have cropped up in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Maryland, Montana, Washington and Wisconsin, according to the CDC. No deaths have been reported.

据美国疾病控制与预防中心说，这些病例出现在亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州、科罗拉多州、爱达荷州、马里兰州、蒙大拿州、华盛顿州和威斯康星州七例住院治疗。目前尚无死亡报告。

Two of those hospitalized have developed a type of kidney failure -- hemolytic uremic syndrome -- known to be associated with this particular type of bacteria, E. coli O157:H7.

其中两名住院患者出现了一种肾衰竭——溶血性尿毒综合症——已知与这种特殊类型的细菌有关，即大肠杆菌O157:H7。

The bacteria produces a toxin that causes symptoms such as bloody diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps, typically within several days of swallowing the bug. Usually, this is resolved within a week, but sometimes it can get worse and last longer.

这种细菌会产生一种毒素，导致腹泻、呕吐、胃痉挛等症状，通常在吞食细菌后几天内就会出现。通常情况下，这个问题会在一周内得到解决，但有时情况会变得更糟，持续的时间会更长。

While patients in Maryland report having eaten Ready Pac salads, those in other states have not. The CDC recommends that people not eat or sell this particular product with a "Best By" date of October 31.

马里兰州的患者称他们吃过现成的Pac牌沙拉，而其他州的患者则没有。美国疾病控制与预防中心建议，人们最好不要在10月31日前食用或销售这种产品。

A statement Wednesday from Bonduelle Fresh Americas said the salad being investigated is Ready Pac Foods Bistro Chicken, lot no. 255406963, UPC# 7774527249. It was sold only at Sam's Club, the company said.

邦杜尔新鲜美洲公司周三发表声明称，正在调查的沙拉是现成的Pac Foods小酒馆鸡肉，批号255406963，UPC#7774527249。该公司表示，它只在山姆俱乐部售出。

"We continue to work with all regulatory agencies to trace the origin of this contamination as quickly as possible to reduce potential impacts to consumers," the company said in its statement.

“我们继续与所有监管机构跟踪这个污染的起源尽快减少对消费者的潜在影响,”该公司在声明中说。

The CDC is still investigating to see whether other products may be connected to the outbreak.

疾控中心仍在调查是否有其他产品可能与此次疫情有关。
