Some brands of bagged romaine lettuce salads are being recalled

due to contamination with a strain of E. coli, according to state health department officials.

The lettuce is sold in 9-ounce, 9.25, 10, 10.25 and 16-ounce bags

under the labels Ready Pac, Trader Joe’s, Safeway and Dining in Classic. The affected bags, produced by Ready Pac Food Inc. have a use-by date of Nov. 18.

The recall was issued after a random test found E. coli. No

illnesses have been associated with the recalled product. Consumers should discard the products or return them to the place

where they were purchased. Anyone who develops symptoms of E. coli, which include abdominal cramps and diarrhea, should contact their doctor.

Most people recover within a week, but children, the elderly and others may develop life-threatening complications.

  2. The only people affected are

    1/ HIV/ AIDS victims

    2/ The very old and transplant patients

    These groups should be advised to never eat anything that is uncooked or not radiated

    For the rest of us—99.9% of the population– such produce is fine

  3. Sharon — your comments are bizarre, e.g. look at the folks who died (and are still dying) from other e coli outbreaks including the recent cantaloupe contamination.

    BTW this lettuce recall also applies to children….so it’s the young and elderly, people who are ill.

    That leaves those who enjoy playing Russian Roulette with their lives and their family’s lives.

    You don’t think the recall is a problem so i assume you’re ignoring the advisory. Friends of Sharon….you might want to avoid the salad at Sharon’s Thanksgiving.

  4. “Most people recover within a week “

    Enjoy your ceasar salad, Sharon. A week of praying to the Porcelain God. Give you plenty of time to consider math, percentages, etc…. and keep you offline.
