Nice cartoon by Martin Sutovec from the Cagle Cartoon Blog. The subject is the E. Coli outbreak centred in Germany which has now killed at least 30 people since late May.
The cartoon shows a police lineup (in American English) or identity parade (in British English) featuring a cucumber, bean sprouts, and an avocado pear.
EXPLANATION
For a long time, the German authorities struggled to identify the source of the outbreak. Initially, they blamed Spanish cucumbers—wrongly as it turned out. It has now been confirmed that German-grown bean sprouts were probably responsible.
