The same happened to the Spinach industry a couple of years ago.  One field 
of one producer was affected but all Spinach was recalled and my friend 
could not sell Spinach for several months.  In the end no one knows the true 
vector, they are blaming it on wild hogs with no physical proof.  My organic 
farmer friend says that is possible but the real culprit is the industrial 
farming method used by the big growers.
