It is almost certain that there are no contaminated vegetables infected by an E. coli in Lithuania, the Lithuanian State Food and Veterinary Service said on 30 May.
The most of cucumbers sold in Lithuania are grown locally or imported from Poland. Only a little part of cucumbers is imported from the Netherlands and Spain.
Nine samples have tested negative for microbiological contamination; the Lithuanian and Polish cucumbers, the Dutch tomatoes and the Spanish salads.
Additional 20 samples are being tested in the National Food and Veterinary Risk Assessment Institute at the moment; the results should be announced at the end of this week.
