Romaine lettuce

[Nancy5]

The CDC has just reported the first death due to eating the lettuce.  I don’t know exactly had to tell if it comes from Yuma Arizona, I just stopped buying it.

I'm not buying it either. It's a shame because romaine is always my favorite!! I love making a good Caesar salad and serving it with dinner throughout the week.

My favorite too and not all the bags show where it was grown and loose stalks you have no idea at all.  Been buying iceberg until this is over

[plennis]

A lot of the restaurants in my area are not serving any salads until this has passed.  I love Romaine and have really been missing it, but better safe than sorry.  We have planted some in our garden in case this goes on to long...LOL

It's sad that the most healthy foods you can eat seem to becoming the most dangerous!

[Yukichan77]

Wow, now that's crazy. I'm not a big fan of romaine lettuce anyways.

Romaine lettuce is my sister's favorite for making salad.  I am not happy about this knowing that someone dies from it.  This is so sad.

[bigfoot951]

I find it interesting how people are talking about 'healthy' foods being dangerous.  If you are eating a salad to be healthy...you wouldn't/shouldn't be eating Romaine lettuce anyway.  And it's scary to me how they report this but they don't report the countless deaths because of other foods and maybe more importantly, pills!

I know I just saw it in the news, scary!

It's a shame about the Romaine lettuce. This has been a particularly bad issue, makes me sad someone died from it. Hope they get rid of the bad lettuce soon.

Yes so sad and almost Romaine lettuce comes from Arizona and California.  Many restaurants  don't offer Caesar salad anymore because of that problem. So scary.

[bshee58]

I never buy that kind of lettuce.

[kathleenkleinhans]

I am just now feeling better after 6 days, having eaten a caesar salad, dont even know if I can look at lettuce again for a long time

[sfreeman8]

I haven't been in any stores lately but last week I had noticed that the one store was still selling Romaine. Don't know if it was grown somewhere else or if they just didn't know about the problem. Supposedly PA had the most people sick from it. That, too, was from last week's news. I was going to buy some but not now. I'll wait. Guess it's back to good ole lettuce temporarily.

I eat lots of salad but now have to watch more closely.   It seems a lot of foods are having  an issue lately, a couple of weeks ago it was eggs.
