WARNING REGARDING ROMAINE LETTUCE

BalletBabe · ‎03-05-2011

I just heard on the news that NO Romaine lettuce is safe. Ecoli breakout. If you are planning on eating it for Thanksgiving don't argh!

Oh no not again! Why Romaine?...why not any other lettuce? What about organic?

Krimpette · ‎03-09-2010

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.

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

@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.
