There was a bag of romaine hearts that I threw out the other day. I have to check the bagged salads to see if they contain romaine.
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising consumers to throw out their romaine lettuce.
Public health officials made the announcement Friday after receiving reports of new illnesses from the E. Coli outbreak that's been linked to romaine from the Yuma, Ariz., growing region.
CDC said the outbreak has spread to 16 states and sickened more than 53 people.
Because of the new illnesses in Alaska, which The Washington Post reported include eight inmates in the state, CDC said its expanding its warning to cover whole heads and hearts of romaine lettuce, in addition to chopped romaine and salads and salad mixes containing romaine."
