A beansprout is seen in this picture illustration taken in Berlin June 6, 2011. The managing director of a German organic farm that might be at the centre of a deadly E.coli outbreak said on Monday he was baffled that his beansprouts are suspected of causing such devastation. German officials said on Sunday the beansprouts of Klaus Verbeck, the head of the "Gaertnerhof Bienenbuettel", could be the source of the EHEC bacteria (enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli) outbreak that has killed 22 and made more than 2,200 people ill across Europe. The farm has been shut, produce recalled and further test results are due on Monday.
