Outbreak of E. coli Infections Linked to Romaine Lettuce
CDC advises that consumers not eat and retailers not sell any romaine lettuce grown in the Salinas, California, growing region. This includes all use-by dates and brands of romaine lettuce from this region.
If you have romaine lettuce or packaged foods containing romaine at home:
- Look for a label showing where the romaine lettuce was grown. It may be printed on the package or on a sticker.
- If the label says “grown in Salinas” (whether alone or with the name of another location), don’t eat it. Throw it away.
- If it isn’t labeled with a growing region, don’t eat it. Throw it away.
- If you don’t know if the lettuce is romaine or whether a salad mix or wrap contains romaine, don’t eat it. Throw it away.
- Wash and sanitize drawers or shelves in refrigerators where romaine lettuce was stored.
If you are buying romaine lettuce at a store:
- Look for a label showing where the romaine lettuce was grown. It may be printed on the package or on a sticker.
- If the label says “grown in Salinas” (whether alone or with the name of another location), don’t buy it.
- If it isn’t labeled with a growing region, don’t buy it.
