Sweden Removes Infected Dutch Meat from its Shelves

Six tons of hamburger and kebab meat have been taken off the shelves in Sweden. According to the Swedish media, this meat was imported from the Netherlands. The infected meat was discovered when in January, two children became ill after eating the hamburgers. Investigations showed that the meat contained dangerous EHEC bacteria. The meat has already been on the market for many months. Possibly 60,000 hamburgers have been sold already.
