A squashed cucumber is pictured at Austria's largest vegetable producer in Vienna
A squashed cucumber is pictured at Austria's largest vegetable producer in Vienna June 9, 2011. Since the E.coli outbreak in Germany, 1,2 Million of cucumbers were destroyed in Austria. The German government has been criticised at home and around Europe for failing so far to pin down the cause of the E.coli outbreak that has killed 27 and stricken more than 2,700 people in 12 countries. So far, bean sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce have all been suspected of spreading the EHEC bacteria. REUTERS/Lisi Niesner (AUSTRIA - Tags: FOOD HEALTH)
