CDC: Romaine lettuce not safe to eat, should be thrown away immediately

CDC is advising that United States consumers not eat any romaine lettuce, and retailers and restaurants not serve or sell any, until we learn more about the outbreak.

32 people from 11 states have been infected, but Kentucky has yet to report a case.

The warning includes all types of romaine lettuce and any salad mix that contains romaine lettuce.

All types and brands of romaine lettuce are suspect because no common grower, supplier, distributor or source company has been identified by the CDC.

If you have any romaine lettuce at home, you should throw it away, even if you have eaten some and did not get sick, the CDC cautioned.

Most E. coli bacteria are benign but some can cause illness, with symptoms including severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting. Toss it. In fact, the alert includes advice on how to clean your refrigerator if romaine has been inside it recently.

"The most recent illness onset in the U.S.in the current outbreak was October 31, 2018", the FDA said, adding that there are 11 states in the US with cases.

Restaurants and retailers should not serve or sell any romaine lettuce, including salads and salad mixes containing romaine.

Talk to your healthcare provider.

'This investigation is ongoing and the advice will be updated as more information is available'.

"Most of the individuals who became sick in Ontario and Quebec reported eating romaine lettuce before their illnesses occurred", the release read. However, this current outbreak is not connected to the recent multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections linked to romaine lettuce.

Assist public health investigators by answering questions about your illness.

One person who was sickened developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure, the CDC said. Some people may have a fever, which usually is not very high (less than 101˚F/38.5˚C).
