Dr. Oz was on Rachael  Ray and he explained how this happens. He said wash each leaf. I stopped buying it but my husband loves ceasear salad & eats it when we go out. So far he is doing good. Just had it today. I am a little scared to eat it. 


 

I always do that with romaine or leaf lettuce...each individual leaf, gently rubbing it under cold water, then putting it through the salad spinner.

Re: Best source for latest romaine lettuce news and more

I had a bag of romaine from Dole a few weeks ago.  I called their customer service number and they had a recording saying none of their product comes from the Yuma, Arizona growing area where the tainted romaine is supposedly from.  I did eat it and had no problems.
