Business - E. coli fears hit the bottom line - The Prague Post

The E. coli blame game has left some in the agricultural industry with some very real financial damage as sales dropped according to what consumers were told by government officials and the media.

On May 28, the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) announced on its website that Spanish cucumbers suspected of E. coli contamination had been delivered to the Czech Republic via a German bio cucumber supplier. The office named the organic specialty store Country Life as the sole receiver of the cucumbers, a fact that was quickly disseminated in the media.
