California may be the source of the latest romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak!


Sofrito Lovers,

Stay away from Romaine Lettuce!  The recent E.Coli outbreak has been traced back to the end-of-harvest season that has come from California right now.

I hate Romaine lettuce, but I know many of you like it so beware and be wise. Check out the article/video posted two days ago on NBCnews.com and stay on top of this scary situation.

In this case, DON'T GO TASTING FOR YOURSELF! ¡Buen Provecho!


California may be the source of the latest romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak!

“It’s not that there are more outbreaks. It’s that we are identifying more outbreaks,” FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb says.

California may be the source of romaine lettuce blamed in an outbreak of E. coli infections that has made 32 people sick in 11 states and Canada, the head of the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.

The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have cautioned people not to eat romaine lettuce while they investigate the outbreak. It’s very similar to an outbreak of E. coli that killed one person and made at least 25 people ill last year, FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said. That outbreak was traced to leafy green vegetables but not to romaine lettuce specifically.
