They said not even if it's in pre-mixed salad. And if you have any in your refrigerator, sanitize your refrigerator after tossing the lettuce. Glad I bought iceberg earlier this week!!!!!!!

Yep, just got the same alert. No Romaine at all is to be considered safe.

At this point, I fear it's permanent extinction is at hand. ☹️

Tainted lettuce again, tainted turkey, tainted water. Animal foods are clogging our arteries, fish has mercury in it, salt is bad, sugar is bad, white bread/pasta/rice are bad. What next? I'm tired of trying to figure out what to eat on a daily basis.

@catwhisperer I lost a brother at age 45 and one at 55. I drove myself nuts worrying about what I was eating. I stopped doing that, but this situation is serious enough for them to say throw it away, then I feel we need to pay attention. I think don't eat too much of anything. It isn't worth the stress.

@BalletBabe...I'm so sorry to hear that you lost two brothers.

I just saw on the news today that there is yet another ground beef recall. That is one thing I have stopped eating, not that I ate much of it to begin with.

You're right, the situation with the food is serious.

@catwhisperer Thank You! I didn't know about the ground beef, but I am not a big eater of any meat but that is good to know. I just thawed out spaghetti sauce, but that ground meat is a month old or older in it. My hubby was a big meat eater. He passed a few years ago and I find I hardly eat any meat. I just don't care for it that much. I am Italian, so I do make a mean meatball! LOL David would definitly do the Happy Dance for my meatballs. LOL

I hope i,m ok. While waiting for the dog to get groomed two days ago, I went to McDonalds and got a chicken sandwich. It had romaine lettuce in it. The recall was the best day. I have not been to any fast food p!ace in months, now this. So far, I don,t feel bad.
