Help recall on romaine lettuce

[Daphne_loves_mealworms]

Oops! Sorry for the EColi, ducks! I just bought Romaine a couple of days ago and my crew went crazy over it. Good timing..... How is it that all of the country’s Romaine is affected, but not similar plants? Is all of the Romaine grown in one place?

Maybe try some boston green leaf or bibb lettuce instead. My ducks love any of the dark leafy varieties.

Thanks for posting this - I had no idea there was a recall. I just switched to Romaine and have a new package in fridge not yet opened - can't even put it in the compost pile - what a waste

Try taking it back to the store for a refund. If you bought it but can't eat it because it was recalled they should give you a refund.

They really like the one that looks like this... curly leaf lettuce, not sure what it's actually called.

I love that lettuce too.

I have been buying iceberg lettuce ever since the first recall... but I accidentally ate some Romaine today in a chick fil a sandwhich. there are only 32 cases (as of today) in the whole US so for those of you who ate romaine recently I wouldn’t worry too much, but I also wouldn’t eat anymore or give any to your birds!

I just yesterday bought some Romaine too. I pitched it out this morning. I also bought some Butter Lettuce and fed that instead.

I just ate the rest of my romaine this morning, lol.

Kathy, you are one BRAVE woman!!

So the CDC doesn’t know where it came from yet so they recalled all of it. That was as of earlier today - haven’t checked again tonight.

There is no official recall as of yet (no matter what the news sources are stating) because they cannot pinpoint where the source is. There is a warning however.
All animals can be affected by ecoli. Ducks don't need lettuce everyday no matter how much they have trained you to give it to them.
