Health officials urge Americans not to eat the leafy green if the label doesn’t say where it was grown. They also urge supermarkets and restaurants not to serve or sell the lettuce, unless they’re sure it was grown elsewhere. - TODAYshow
Officials said their investigation led to farms in Salinas and that they are looking for the source of E. coli tied to the illnesses. Salinas is a major growing region for romaine from around April to this time of year, when growing shifts south to Yuma, Arizona., the produce industry agreed to voluntarily label the lettuce with harvest regions. Health officials said that would make it easier to trace romaine and issue more specific public health warnings when outbreaks happen.
It’s not clear exactly why romaine keeps popping up in outbreaks, but food safety experts note the popularity of romaine lettuce and the difficulty of eliminating risk for produce grown in open fields and eaten raw. “It’s very, very disturbing. Very frustrating all around,” said Trevor Suslow of the Produce Marketing Association.
