The UK Health Security Agency said on Thursday one patient had died in the E.coli outbreak
Lawyers acting for two people who fell ill in the E.coli outbreak linked to salad leaves - including a girl from the North West - have started legal action against Tesco and Asda for compensation.
"The girl, aged 11, developed the serious condition haemolytic uraemic syndrome , which attacks the kidneys and has been on dialysis for three weeks," it said. "She was discharged home two days ago but could be at risk of permanent kidney damage. Her mother bought three of the sandwiches as part of an online delivery.”
"My client was a regular shopper at Tesco, buying his lunch there most days since it was very close to his work." At least 122 people have been admitted to hospital for treatment since the start of the outbreak. Darren Whitby, head of incidents at the FSA, said on Thursday it believed a type of lettuce used in sandwich products was the likely cause of the outbreak.
