Researchers were testing the bacteria to determine if it bears the same genetic fingerprint as the E. coli linked to an outbreak of illness that has affected at least 69 people in 29 states.

The tainted sample was manufactured last February 10 at the Nestle Plant in Danville, said the sources, both of whom requested anonymity.

All of the infected persons had been confirmed as having the outbreak strain of E. coli 0157:H7, the CDC said Monday.

Those affected range in age from 2 to 65, however 64 percent are less than 19 and 73 percent are female.
