Me too, @Kachina624. I have been craving a salad with romaine big time since all this happened.

I think the issue lies in the water source. Are these produce farms next to cattle or sheep ranches? Do they share water sources. Is it run off from moutains, etc. that perhaps could have some issue? Is it the processing of the produce?  Seems to me that the inspectors should have solved this issue by now. It has to be the source or the process.   

@Fressa

Yes, the produce farms are next to cattle feedlots.

In Yuma, Arizona (Summer 2018 Outbreak), a cattle feedlot in

Wellton, Arizona (130,000 head) is only 30 miles away from

the Yuma Produce Farms. 

 

The E. coli O157:H7 strain only originates in animals,

with the primary source of cattle.  

 

Cattle, in this case, of only 30 miles away.
