This includes all types of lettuce, such as whole heads of romaine, hearts of romaine, and bags and boxes of precut lettuce and salad mixes, such as Caesar salad. Wash and sanitize drawers or shelves in refrigerators where romaine lettuce has been stored and follow these fivesteps to clean your refrigerator.
If you believe you have an E.coli infection, talk to your healthcare provider, write down what you ate the week before you got sick, and report your illness to the health department.

All this #InNOut talk @khou had me craving a burger all day. There’s no In-N-Out in The Woodlands so I stopped by @Whataburger, and I saw this sign. Good thing I didn’t want a salad 🤷🏻♀️ #SafetyFirst pic.twitter.com/IiLld9DZG7
