I always find it amusing when an American is eventually reading something about Europe which is happening for a week or more already and present it as "news"..
Cucumbers, even those that were carrying the bacterias, are safe once their shell is cut, they're safe when they're cooked/baked whatever.. just eating them raw is currently not suggested.. and even then, 16 death people, probably more people die daily when driving to the airport alone in the world..
This remembers me more and more about the Schweinegrippe.. (pork flue)
Don't panic people!
(I like the ultra-cheap veggies on the market, though..)
