Four children in hospital with E.coli in France
Four children were being treated in hospital on Thursday in the northern French town of Lille for food poisoning related to a rare strain of E.coli bacteria, health authorities said, AFP reported.
The children had consumed suspect ground beef, officials said.
The case comes after a major E.coli outbreak that killed 38 people - all in Germany except for one woman who died in Sweden after visiting Germany- and sickened 3,300 people in 116 countries.
