Romaine salad recall expands amid E. coli outbreak

The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention is advising consumers not to eat romaine lettuce harvested from Salinas, California.

If consumers have romaine at home, they should look on the label or packaging to determine where the lettuce was grown, the CDC said. Health officials say 40 people across 16 states have fallen ill and 28 needed to be hospitalized.

According to researchers, the E. coli strain found in lettuce samples taken from this fall is similar to strains found in outbreaks in 2017 and 2018.

As a outcome, the Public Health Agency of Canada is asking Canadians to avoid consuming, selling or serving romaine lettuce from the region. A second outbreak that sickened more than 50 people in multiple states was linked to romaine lettuce from California's Central Coast.

If consumers can't verify the origin of romaine or mixes containing the variety, they should discard it, the CDC urged. If it does, or there is no label, do not buy that romaine lettuce.

Klopp managed to get his side to regroup at the interval and four minutes into the second half they made the breakthrough. He trained the whole time since he was here, but only the things we wanted him to do ".

Recovery usually takes about a week, but the CDC says the strain can lead to longer and more severe illness. "The Salinas region as defined by the United Fresh Produce Association and the Produce Marketing Association includes Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Benito, and Monterey counties in California", the release said. The U.S. CDC is reporting multiple illnesses in several U.S. states.

Preliminary information indicates that sickened residents of Maryland were exposed to romaine lettuce grown in the Salinas area.

If you can't confirm that the romaine lettuce in stores is not from the Salinas, California growing region in the USA, don't buy it.

The Inspectorate said that at this stage in the investigation, the most efficient way to ensure that contaminated romaine is off the market would be for industry to voluntarily withdraw product grown in Salinas, and to withhold distribution of Salinas romaine for the remainder of the growing season in Salinas. The recalled salad products were sold under different brand names and "use by" dates from October 29, 2019 to November 1, 2019.

If the packaging shows that it is from the Salinas, California growing region in the US, don't buy it. Whole genome sequencing shows the strain in romaine lettuce tested by the Maryland Health Department is closely related genetically to the E. coli found in sick people.
