Quite a few places are pulling salads. Since the affected lettuce isn't always known right away, better for them to be proactive and avoid customers becoming ill.
We know this batch came from one area; but often it takes the illness to show up before it is determined where the tainted lettuce came from.
I don't see the problem with removing salads. There have been just too many incidences of tainted romaine lettuce.
Nobody is getting hysterical, either. A rather unfair accusation.
If you want to eat the lettuce, then eat it.
If you don't want to eat tettuce, then don't eat it.
Personal decision are not going to affect anybody else.

Sometimes someone may want salad and iceberg maybe all that's available. It's better than nothing.
@CelticCrafter - I agree. I don't even like romaine so the recalls don't affect me at all (but I feel for those who do like romaine) but now we're going to analyze the very BEST lettuce nutritionally for a salad? It's a salad. Any kind of lettuce is good. Eat what you enjoy. It's better than making a salad with a base of tostitos or something.
Actually, when you look at "salad" with all the stuff people and restaurants now load on them, it is often a huge source of calories and fats.
Give me a good small steak, a cooked green veggie (cooked with no sauce or butter or bacon), and half a potato (sweet or white) and some salt and I'm all in for a good meal.
I have never been a huge fan of salad.

It's Romaine from CA. Restaurants and stores are just staying way from all Romaine lettuce for the time being. Chic Fil A could have done that too.

I eat all my salads without lettuce anyway. I'd rather eat the veggies that have more nutritional value.

Iceberg does have nutrional value but one reason I stopped buying it and washing my own and there was a dead grasshopper inside of it.....ARRGGHHH!!!! And PLEASE no comments about enjoy the extra protein ...... Thats when I stopped buying iceberg and bought the pre-washed lettuce and I still wash it....
A co-worker said that happened to her too...

You are correct. Iceberg lettuce does not have a large amount of nutritional value. The darker green, the better it is. Iceberg lettuce is barely green.
We got hit hard by the E Coli bacteria in the romaine lettuce in our state. About the only lettuce available is the iceberg in supermarkets. The infection is so widespread, it might take weeks to get any dark lettuce back in.

I think a reason so many restaurants/fast food use Romaine is that it holds up well and stays crunchy in salads, etc. I just bought butter lettuce at Costco which is my favorite anyway.
