because of germs like listeria and salmonella like we saw at the fig & olive restaurant in downtown,e. coli the breaks could have more severe consequences. 2010 and 01multi-state outbreaks accounted for 4,000 illnesses. there were an average of 23 outbreaks and that's a spike when we average just six outbreaks across state line and in a quarter century beyond that. the centers for disease control says there are two main reasons and one of those, consolidation inndustry and instead of companies just shipping to one reon t tainted products can wind up in more places. at the same time health officials have much more sophisticated testing to link them across state line. ? so how can you protect yourself? researchersre looking into vaccines, but that's a ways away at this point. right now there is no medicatio that can protect yourom e. coli-based illnesses. the best way is to avoid food borne ilesses at home. cooking meats to proper temperatures, washing fresh produce and of course, washing your hands and it probably bears repeating, jim, that we have not had any reports of any problems

it's not like they're testing routinely whether or not these foods contain salmonella, listeria. the only way we find out is after people get sick. >> i suppose they're interviewing the people who have gotten sick to see if they ate similar items, right? that's the way they track it down. >> chipotle, to your point, is being very cautious, because it's not only shutting down the six stores linked to sick patients, but it's taken the precaution of shutting down all the stores in those two states because presumably they're using the same suppliers in those two states, right? listen, in previous outbreaks this has impacted -- previous outbreaks have impacted the businesses. we'll have to see if this is going to become a reputational risk for chipotle or if they can get it to these particular restaurants and people get over it in a couple of days or if their reputation is on the line here. >> thank you. >>> the next hour of "cnn newsroom" starts right now. >>> happening now in the news damm "newsroom" -- what brought down a passenger plane. officials are not ruling out terrorism. >>>
