A food company is recalling lettuce sold in 23 states and the District of Columbia because of an E. coli outbreak that has sickened at least 19 people. The Food and Drug Administration said that 12 people had been hospitalized, and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is looking at 10 other cases that are possibly linked to the outbreak.
Freshway Foods of Sidney, Ohio is recalling romaine lettuce sold under the Freshway and Imperial Sysco brands. Apparently the FDA is focusing their investigation on lettuce grown in Arizona as a possible source for the outbreak.
