Legionnaire's disease bacteria found at Florida health club according to : CBS News

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The bacteria that cause Legionnaire's disease have been found at a health club in Florida, and a second club is being tested for the bacteria. The Orlando Sentinel reports that health officials concluded Tuesday that water samples from an LA Fitness club in Orlando tested positive for the Legionella bacteria, and they are awaiting test results from a second LA Fitness gym in Orlando. Earlier this month, LA Fitness officials notified members of the two gyms about the possible contamination. In April, the Florida Department of Health confirmed three cases of the disease from people who were all members of the LA Fitness in Ocoee, a city just outside of Orlando. The bacteria usually grow in closed water systems.

Fecal bacteria found in ice at Starbucks, 2 other chains in UK investigation

At Starbucks and Caffe Nero, three out of the 10 samples of ice collected were found to contain the fecal bacteria. The BBC's consumer-affairs Watchdog program found that ice from three of the U.K.'s biggest coffee chains — Starbucks, Costa Coffee and Caffe Nero — had been contaminated with bacteria found in feces. The BBC reported that both Caffe Nero and Starbucks will be conducting investigations. "We were disappointed with the findings, especially as these stores are all rated Very Good with the top Hygiene Rating of 5," Costa told CNBC in a written statement. You may want to think twice before you take a sip of your favorite iced coffee beverage this summer, especially if you're in the U.K.
