People in US have been discarding romaine lettuce from their homes, read on to know why...
Romaine lettuce is a variety of lettuce that we commonly use in Bahrain. More than 200 people have been falling ill and the number of deaths the national food poisoning outbreak has caused in US is still unknown.
Health officials in US have been blaming the romaine lettuce from Yuma, Arizona for the food poisoning. The growing season has ended few weeks back but it is unlikely any tainted lettuce is still in stores or at people’s houses.
In some of the reported cases people have not been eating the lettuce but were in close contact with someone who was affected with the bacteria.
E-coli bacteria are not harmful but some of them produce toxins that can cause illness and some can be more severe.
