CAIRO: European Union Commission sent a letter to 27 countries announcing that Egyptian fenugreek is acquitted of E-Coli outbreak in European countries. Israeli and U.S. media reported Egypt is linked with the outbreak of E-Coli bacteria through Egyptian cucumber and fenugreek seeds. The Union sent the Egyptian government a request for help in investigation about fenugreek export from 2009 to 2010. According to a note written by agricultural experts, Egypt has no any cases of E-Coli infection in this period. The bacteria lives on wet surfaces; consequently, the bacteria cannot live for two years on fenugreek since 2009 until this year.
