Spanish Cucumber Warning was Lifted by the European Commission

The European Commission lifted the health warning order against Spanish cucumbers after an erroneous report from the German authorities about a relationship between these products and the deadly outbreak of EHEC bacteria, announced today the Spanish Health Ministry.

The Ministry said the decision was a “very important step to restore normalcy to the Spanish horticultural sector, severely affected by the consequences of the epidemic that has already caused 17 deaths.
