Wisconsin Recall— Due to a strand of E. coli bacteria found in one of the bags earlier this week, Freshway Foods has issued a recall of its bagged, shredded romaine lettuce . Freshway salad with use by dates later than May 12 are not affected by the recall, nor are bulk or prepackaged romaine lettuce or bagged salad mixes using romaine.

The FDA is warning consumers to be careful of “grab-and-go” salads that contain romaine sold at in-store salad bars and delis.

To date, 19 people have gotten sick from the contaminated lettuce. Most incidents have occurred in the Northeast and Midwest- Wisconsin included.
