Lettuce Recall Includes Kentucky
KENTUCKY....
Lettuce sold to retailers in 23 states, including Kentucky, has been recalled because of a possible link to 19 cases of E. coli. Freshway Foods of Sidney, Ohio, announced on Thursday a recall of romaine lettuce after illnesses were reported in Michigan, Ohio and New York. The Food and Drug Administration said the illnesses included 12 people who have been hospitalized and three with potentially life-threatening symptoms. Freshway Foods said the lettuce was sold to wholesalers, food service outlets, in-store salad bars and delis and has a "best if used by" date of May 12 or earlier. The recall also affects "grab and go" salads sold at Kroger, Giant Eagle, Ingles Markets and Marsh grocery stores.
