A recent string of E. coli outbreaks in Minnesota has launched multiple recalls for carrots and beef in the state. So far, ten cases of E. coli in Minnesota have been connected to burgers sold at multiple Red Cow Restaurants in the metro and Hen House Eatery in Minneapolis. At least five people became sick from carrots sold in grocery stores across the state.

For more about how these outbreaks are happening and how to stay safe, MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with Carlota Medus, epidemiologist with the Foodborne Diseases Unit at the Minnesota Department of Health.
