Officials say the tainted lettuce from Salinas, California, has sent 72 people to the hospital.
Under U.S. law, lettuce is not required to be labeled with the farm where it was grown, but companies can choose to include that information. The CDC and FDA recommend throwing away all romaine harvested from Salinas, or avoiding romaine entirely if you cannot be certain it was grown elsewhere. But lettuce grown in other places is safe to consume, the agencies said.
Officials said it’s also safe to eat indoor-grown lettuce ― sometimes referred to as hydroponic or greenhouse-grown. Restaurant lettuce should be avoided unless the establishment is certain it was not grown in Salinas, the agencies said. The FDA is currently working to identify the exact source of the contamination so it can request a targeted recall from specific growers.
