The contanimated bagged romaine lettuce comes from Salinas, California. I am sure Wendy's is not using lettuce from this region, as it has been known this is where it is coming from. I bought bagged romaine from Walmart (checked the location on bag) and haven't had any problems.

Oh, I haven't heard anything more than the Salinas problem... I would think the restaurants and food chains would not take a chance if it could put the health of consumers in danger.

our restaurants that we go to are still serving romaine.
the grocery stores i purchase from are still selling romaine.
i served a caesar salad for our christmas dinner.
the ONLY romaine pulled was romaine or mixes that had romaine in them that originated from SALINAS.
i have been purchasing romaine that was harvested in YUMA. i ate a caesar salad yesterday from my favorite seafood restaurant.

@Pearlee. The original alert was for Romaine from the Salinas, Ca., area. I'm sure it's grown other places too and that should be fine. I've noticed Romaine being sold at my supermarket. Wendy's would be very careful with what they serve.

@smb3. FIrst I read it was Salinas but read after that that the CDC thought it more widespread than that and it couldn't pinpoint the location of all of it si advised people not to eat bagged romaine. On the other hand you'd think Wendy'sand their lawyers would be on top of this and know for sure. Me? I'm not taking any chances.
@smb3 The CDC alert is only for Romaine coming from Salinas. It has not changed. If the Romajne is grown somewhere else and the supplier lists where it’s grown it is not part of the current outbreak. I check the CDC website and post any updates here. Thursdays are news release days from the CDC and the CDC goes into more detail about newer outbreaks. Being cautious about lettuce isn’t bad because newly contaminated products are not discovered right away, if at all, and field grown lettuce and other greens have had frequent recalls. For me, I’ve been sautéing or steaming my spinach and other greens.
QUOTED DIRECTLY FROM THE CDC:
CDC continues to advise that consumers not eat and retailers not sell any romaine lettuce grown in the Salinas, California, growing region. This includes all use-by dates and brands of romaine lettuce from this region.

For years and years, I don't order salads.
Found 'this and that' in my salads way too many times.
I only order sizzling hot food items; not lukewarm or 'cold'.
Just the way I am.

p.s. Also won't eat turkey at certain people's houses.
Too many times, someone brings in partially cooked turkey, finishing cooking time in the host's oven.
