Worthington, Minn. — Minnesota agriculture officials have apparently expanded their investigation of the dairy farm linked to an outbreak of E. coli that has sickened at least eight people.
State investigators went back to the Michael Hartmann farm in Gibbon a second time last Wednesday to collect more samples, confiscate financial records, and document what they allege are unsanitary conditions on the farm.
State health officials have blamed unpasteurized milk from the Hartmann farm for the E. coli outbreak.
State Agriculture Department officials believe the E. coli was contained in Hartmann dairy products sold to the general public.
