A worker throws away cucumbers to be destroyed at an agriculture facility near Bucharest
A worker throws away cucumbers to be destroyed at an agriculture facility near Bucharest June 6, 2011 as sales collapsed in Romania's markets due to the fear of E.coli contamination. The workers from this facility are destroying about 1500 tonnes of harvested cucumbers from the last three days, despite negative E.coli laboratory tests, according to local media. The outbreak, centred on the north German city of Hamburg, has made more than 1,500 people ill in eight European countries, and led to an international row over the source of the contamination.
