Don't eat romaine lettuce, CDC now warns amid E. coli outbreak

No one should eat romaine lettuce — or any lettuce at all — unless they can be sure it’s not from Arizona, federal health officials said Friday.

 

More than 50 people have become sick in an outbreak of E. coli food poisoning linked to romaine lettuce and now several people in Alaska have also gotten ill, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new warning.

They'll probably feed all the lettuce to cattle and pigs.

Thanks for the warning Mathew, we just purchased some Romaine lettuce yesterday to make a big salad.

Was thinking about some delicious Caguama turtle soup, but this police officer is guarding the nest.

A place in CA called Slap Yo Daddy BBQ (LOL) sells bacon covered donuts.

I mean, as long as they're not wrapped in lettuce, it's totally healthy! Right? Right?

Called Fresh Express yesterday they have a pre-recording that their product is not affect by the recall.

 

I'd stay on the line to speak with someone anyway. Well I spoke Anna who insisted their Romaine lettuce was not affected by the recall.  I advised that the CDC did not name names of any manufactures who process' the Romaine lettuce. However, the  CDC did said not to eat the Romaine lettuce if you ( the consumer ) can absolutely confirm that the lettuce is not from Yuma Arizona,  throw it out.  

 

So i request a refund, Anna said they do not give refunds, I would have to return it back to the store for that.  Then I asked for a coupon, she said to me why would I want a coupon, if the Romaine lettuce is on recall. I advised that I do like their products and Romaine lettuce is not the only product they sell.  Anna reluctantly agreed to send the coupons for other salads that don't contain Romaine lettuce. I will let you know if I get the coupons.
