Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised consumers to not eat romaine lettuce due to an E. coli outbreak On November 20, 2018, the CDC issued a Food Safety Alert advising U.S. consumers to not eat romaine lettuce due to an ongoing multi-state E. coli O157:H7 outbreak linked to romaine lettuce. Because there has not been an official food recall, romaine lettuce may still be on the shelves of stores or in restaurants. Consumers who have any type of romaine lettuce in their home should not eat it and should throw it away. If consumers do not know if a lettuce is romaine or if a salad contains romaine, they should not eat it. People with symptoms of an E.coli infection such as severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting should speak with their health care provider. |
