AGAIN? Isn’t this the third time this year?
Not just America, California is one of the largest exporters of romaine lettuce to other countries. FYI!
Jennie-O turkey is also being recalled because of a salmonella outbreak.
Be careful friends.
Update: I was curious about all of the recent outbreaks and recalls and found a list. These are some of the products that have been recalled this fall
- Peanut Butter Crunch (salmonella)
- Many different cheeses, particularly those made by Green Cedar, Margie, Quesillo or Alebrije (salmonella or listeria, depending on which brand)
- Some kinds of Natural Life dog food (too much vitamin D)
- Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts (E. Coli)
- Duncan Hines cake mixes (salmonella)
- Various brands of curry powder (lead)
- Gravel Ridge’s Cage Free eggs (Salmonella)
- Working Cow Ice cream (listeria)
- Bazzini’s Pistachios (Salmonella)
Most of those, however, were able to be traced back to a specific batch and recalled. However, if you’ve bought any of these things lately, I would still be a little cautious.
Unfortunately, since they can’t trace the exact source of the contaminated lettuce, all we can do is avoid all romaine lettuce for now.
Honestly with all of the outbreaks related to romaine lettuce in the past few years, you might just want to avoid it in general, but that’s just my opinion
