does costco have a recall on romaine lettuce

So far no known deaths have occurred, but 28 hospitalizations, including five cases of a potentially life-threatening complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure, have been reported. Thanks a lot. While there is no outbreak of E. coli in Canada, U.S. public health officials report multiple illnesses in several states linked to lettuce grown in Salinas, Calif.Consumers in both countries are advised not to eat, and retailers not to sell or serve, any romaine lettuce harvested from Salinas. Unfortunately (and almost like clockwork) There has been an E.Coli outbreak in Romaine lettuce grown and produced in the Salinas California growing region. Unfortunately (and almost like clockwork) There has been an E.Coli outbreak in Romaine lettuce grown and produced in the Salinas California growing region.While currently the “outbreak” is only being reported in the U.S. the CFIA is warning Canadians to avoid eating romaine grown in the region, and as of this morning at least 1 case has been reported in Canada that has the “fingerprint” as they’re calling it linking it to the growing region.“PHAC joins the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration in advising consumers not to eat romaine lettuce of any kind harvested from the Salinas Valley, one of California’s major agricultural regions, because it may be contaminated with a particularly dangerous type of E. coli bacteria that has sickened 40 people in 16 U.S. states.Consumers are being advised to throw away any romaine lettuce they may already have purchased. Having a recall system that is specific to the customer’s purchases is what makes Costco such a safe, trustworthy brand for customers. Most people recover within a week, but some illnesses can last longer and be more severe. More fresh produce is being grown in greenhouses, which decreases the risk, Goodridge said. lol Sorry Jan… Steer clear of Romaine and use another green! "It's important to understand that while an E. coli infection of this type causes gastroenteritis, much as many other food-borne diseases, it can, in 11 to 15 per cent of cases (especially in children) cause more serious complications involving the kidneys," Sly said. Restaurants should not serve it, stores should not sell it, and people should not buy it, if it was harvested from Salinas, a growing area in Northern California. If you don't know if the lettuce is romaine or whether a salad mix contains romaine, don't eat it or serve it. Food scientists say the goal is to trace the E. coli organism using sophisticated microbiological "fingerprinting" techniques, to make a link between the ill patient, the contaminated food and the source of the bacteria: the cattle. The strain of E. coli O157:H7 identified as the cause of this latest outbreak has been linked using DNA methods to other outbreaks involving romaine, which suggests the source of the contamination is likely the same, Goodridge said. Iceburg lettuce is “kinda” similar… Ish?We are an independent website and not affiliated or endorsed by Costco Wholesale. Romaine lettuce is the top-selling variety of lettuce in North America, with iceberg a close second, Sly said. Goodridge pointed to three measures to improve the safety of romaine:"Irrigation water treatment and labelling as to the source, I'd like to see those become mandatory within the industry,"  Goodridge said.Meat is usually cooked but fresh vegetables, particularly lettuce, aren't, which reduces one of the steps to kill disease-causing bacteria like E. coli O157:H7.Epidemiologist Tim Sly, a professor emeritus at Ryerson University's School of Public Health in Toronto, said produce grown close to the soil and eaten raw is always vulnerable. Costco’s recall system makes members feel safe. Consumers — as well as restaurants and retailers — should double-check the label on any romaine lettuce products they may have to see if the label says “Salinas” on it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued a romaine lettuce recall and are advising throwing all types of romaine out. Officials have confirmed that this outbreak is linked to the same type of E. coli that caused widespread illness due to contaminated romaine lettuce last fall. People should not buy romaine from Salinas Valley, Calif., Canadian and U.S. health officials say.

Throw it away, the One of the contributors to the problem lies in how romaine is usually grown in irrigated fields. Irrigating with tap water would probably reduce the danger, but it would be extraordinarily expensive and not practical.

"It's an extremely difficult problem due to in part the proximity of cattle-feeding operations, which are a major industry in those areas, and the growing [of] leafy greens," Lytton said. Even one of our employees here at Taste of Home, Alex Levin, continues to see Costco as a brand that he can count on. "I think nobody is more eager to reduce the problem … than the leafy greens industry because this is threatening to completely destroy their business model. By Costco East / Category Costco, Recall, Uncategorized / November 23, 2019 Hello and Happy-ish Saturday everyone! But it's hard to come up with definitive proof. "We're not sure what the acceptable level of risk is, and the government has basically taken its cues from industry," Lytton said.While industry often employs top talent from universities in food safety, Lytton expects that the problems with leafy greens will be with us for some time. "But romaine grows with open leaves — open to dust and blowing soil — while iceberg grows in a 'protective' closed-leaf formation," Sly said in an email. "But the industry has been less successful in figuring out just how clean the irrigation water needs to be to reduce the danger of microbial contamination to an acceptable level," Lytton said. It doesn’t matter if it is chopped, whole head, precut or part of a mix.”While the CFIA doesn’t have this listed as an outbreak, I’d just advise you to steer clear for safety sake.I”ll update as the news comes in or if this changes to an official outbreak.Thanks for reading folks, hope Caesar salads weren’t in your Saturday plans!Oh crap….
