No, it's not people cra--ing on everything.
No, it's not wild hogs.
Seriously funny. Just do a little bit of research guys.
It's not that hard....

My Chipotle was lettuceless today as well. No romaine in stores of course. Around here it all comes from Salinas. And for those of you that don't know the recall was expanded to all Romaine from Salinas, not just the bags and premade salad mixes, All Romaine.

Well, even a few of our major grocery chains here in NY are pulling all their salads!

You would think there would be more problems with meat and now we have to worry about our lettuces. This is very sad and whoever owns these farms needs to make serious changes.

Sometimes someone may want salad and iceberg maybe all that's available. It's better than nothing.
and a nice wedge salad can be delicious!!

Also the reason that lettuce is so popular. It's dark green (meaning very healthy) and it does make salads interesting to eat. the other lettuce seems bland compared to that. My husband only wants Romaine. Does not care for the other kind of lettuce. Another kind "bland" salad is spinach. It's a super food. Even more nutritious then Romaine, but bitter. A lot of people don't like it. The sweeter a lettuce is, the less in nutritional value. The more bitter a lettuce is, the more the food value. Like dark green veggies (the hated broccoli etc.)

If this is true why bother to put the origin of the romaine on the bag it comes in? If all the farms that mix the produce together is from Salinas, then ok but still I would think that scientists would want to pinpoint exactly which farm is contaminated although I see it could be plural.

@Susan Louise, any store, including Wegmans, selling bagged romaine or heads of romaine sourced from the area in question, will be "affected." But as I mentioned, Wegmans continues to sell the BABY romaine heads, at least here, because their source is not part of this recall--nor has it been in the past..
As for the iceberg lettuce bashing, it's untrue that it has NO nutritional value whatsoever. Obviously, darker greens (and there are darker greens than romaine, too) will have more of certain nutrients. And if adults don't know how to add other nutrient-rich ingredients to a salad using iceberg, I just dont know what to say.
Beyond that, iceberg remains the most popular lettuce. The heads are dense (one of the reasons it's not contaminated as often), and comparatively cheap. Also, less handling (ie, for bagged salads) equals fewer chances for contamination. IMO, the crisp (unribbed, like romaine) leaves of iceberg lettuce are a welcome addition to any salad or sandwich, and so are wedges served with dressing.
Oh...and they don't call it CRISPHEAD for nothing. 😉
@Moonlady Nothing you say changes how I feel about iceberg lettuce...period.
