So much for the great romaine recall

[nitpicker]

This morning, I went by a half-dozen grocery stores in the Northern VA area (Giant, Safeway, Harris Teeter, Trader Joe's, Aldi and the ethnic Food Star).

Only Aldi had pulled their romaine lettuce. The other stores were still selling romaine.

Until these stores start posting signs about where their romaine comes from, I'm not buying it.

3. Has there been info on where the lettuce is from? What distributors and what Brands?

I haven't heard anything but some people got sick.

Thanks

4. The affected lettuce comes from the Yuma, Arizona area.

The CDC says, if you can't confirm it's not from Yuma, don't buy it.

8. I looked on the bottom of the box.

I had just eaten a huge salad when I found out about the recall. In a panic, I went through the trash to find the top, but that only had the brand, sell-by date, logo, "Product of USA", etc. Then I went to the recycle bin to find the box and it had the place of origin stamped there, not far from the UPC code. Mine was not from AZ.

I sure wish we could find a way to make our food supply safe. It's damn scary.

things to make peoples lives better and safer.

10. My be leaf is that

only Romaine from Arizona was recalled. Don't get a head of yourself and pass it up if you want some.

14. Toss the salad: Yer heading for a bad 2 days if it's the germane romaine.

17. That's just the tip of the iceburg

18. Oooooohhhhh!!!!!!!

Damn you!

20. I know I am being

Radicchio endive seem to out of puns.

16. You are correct.

Only lettuce grown in Yuma, AZ was recalled.

13. I would head over to the Bosc and Bartletts

I hear they’re a great deal, buy one, get a pear 🍐.

15. Only lettuce grown in Yuma, AZ was pulled.

That's what was contaminated. What you saw was likely grown elsewhere. My Aldi had Romaine lettuce. I checked the label. It was grown in California.

19. Trader Joe's is good at pulling product...

at the slightest hint of contamination

If it's on the shelf it's safe
