Late last month, the CDC issued a warning that sounded very familiar to anyone who remembers the widespread romaine lettuce recalls from 2018. Scientists had identified a strain of E. coli in lettuce from the Salinas Valley, California, growing region. This was obviously bad news for anyone who was hoping to incorporate romaine lettuce into their holiday dishes, but it’s also a sign of a troubling trend.
Now, a separate warning over potentially contaminated lettuce has been issued by the CDC, this time linking a strain of E. coli to popular pre-chopped salad kits. The kits, which are sold under the brand name Fresh Express, are sold across several states and have already resulted in multiple confirmed E. coli infections and hospitalizations.
