BERLIN, GERMANY - JUNE 07: A package of organic green soybean sprouts purchased by the photographer at a local market lies opened on June 7, 2011 in Berlin, Germany. German health authorites are due to release laboratory results from organic vegetable sprouts grown at the Gaertnerhof Bienenbuettel organic farm for possible infection with enterohemorrhagic E. coli, also known as the EHEC bacteria. Authorities in the German state of Lower Saxony closed the farm several days ago under strong suspicion that the current E. coli outbreak stems from sprouts grown at the farm, though initial lab results published yesterday show no infection. The outbreak has thus far infected at least 2,153 people and killed 22 in Europeâ™s worst recorded E. coli outbreak ever. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
