Stay away from the Romaine.
E. coli outbreak linked to chopped romaine lettuce sourced from the Yuma, Arizona growing region has expanded to include 16 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report. At least 53 people have been sickened so far by the tainted greens, resulting in 31 hospitalizations.
Restaurants and consumers should avoid any pre-chopped romaine lettuce from the Yuma vicinity, and should exercise extreme caution, as investigators haven’t traced the exact source of the contamination yet, according to The New York Times. “If you do not know if the lettuce is romaine, do not eat it, and throw it away,” the CDC advised in a recent statement.
According to Gizmodo, the infection currently spreading is a particularly nasty strain of E. coli called O157:H7, and five of the 53 people so far reported have developed serious complications via hemolytic uremic syndrome — which causes kidney failure. Fortunately, there have been no deaths reported so far.
