| e coli Hi all... Been a while so hi to you all. I have been hearing a lot about lettuce and the e coli virus. Four more deaths noted today (on tv). I think it is mostly in Romaine lettuce. I have still been eating it but not as much (probably from eating more junk food). But so far no problem. Has anyone seen what brand of Romaine is contaminated. ..I love salad and hate giving it up. Thanks in advance for your input. Tina

| Hi tinav, To my knowledge, the deaths related to romaine lettuce grown in the Yuma (Arizona) region. I don't think experts have as yet determined the underlying cause. Again, to my knowledge, this is growing region specific and mostly not limited to a specific brand. Also understand that most of the deaths were determined to have resulted from consumption of the romaine, but "The CDC said that some of the affected people had not eaten lettuce, but had contact with others who had fallen ill." See also "FDA Investigating Multistate Outbreak of E. coli ...." 1 June 2018, FDA.gov. Article includes statement (emphasis added), 'The FDA is investigating a multistate outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses likely linked to romaine lettuce sourced from the winter growing areas in and around the Yuma growing region. Product is no longer being harvested or distributed from this area and is no longer available in stores or restaurants, due to its 21-day shelf life." |

| I was reading on Facebook where the CDC was saying they were considering all romaine lettuce contaminated and not to eat any of it.

| Yes it is confusing. ...I go into a supermarket and they tell me their Romaine is safe...although I have haf.no problem I wonder about going forward. I know we have been hearing mostly about deaths in the west but still makes me leary since only Saturday they announced 4 new deaths. Guess just must be careful. ...maybe no salads out of the home if any at all. Tina

The FDA and CDC issued updated advisories at the time the most recent deaths were reported. Earlier I referenced FDA.gov article dated 1 June 2018. CDC report of the same date is titled, "Multistate Outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 Infections Linked to Romaine Lettuce." Quoting below from that report, emphasis added, It takes two to three weeks between when a person becomes ill with E. coli and when the illness is reported to CDC. Most of the people who recently became ill ate romaine lettuce when lettuce from the Yuma growing region was likely still available in stores, restaurants, or in peoples’ homes. Some people who became sick did not report eating romaine lettuce, but had close contact with someone else who got sick from eating romaine lettuce. | |
