A California farm linked to
recent outbreaks of E. coli infections found in romaine lettuce is recalling additional produce “out of an abundance of caution,” the company announced last week. Adam Bros. Farming, Inc. in Santa Maria
said Thursday that it is voluntarily recalling red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce and cauliflower that was harvested from Nov. 27 to Nov. 30. The company said that none of those products have tested positive for E. Coli. The products’ recalled

How needless...remember that interviews with ill people, only 25 were polled and 22 of them remembered having a salad the week before they felt bad. And based on those 22 folks out of the 43 I believe it was ill from E. coli, the entire Romain industry was brought to its knees. The argument of course was 90% of the people remembered eating lettuce, but that also means 10% did not. So how do you have a break out based on Romaine without any kind of lack of concrete proof? Still to this day no E. coli in any bag of lettuce. Yet years back when we had the spinach outbreak, we had bags of spinach, which was organic spinach mind you, that was determined the cause as they had concrete evidence and now today we can’t get this done? Shame on the FDA. If nothing had been done, and the incidence rate was the same, based on the number of salads Served, A person eating Romaine every day, would be hospitalized from E. coli once every 76,000 years. And you can look in the Wall Street Journal for Jim Prevor’s column for substantiation of this statement.
