Across America, fear of a new outbreak of infection due to vegetables
The California farm linked to a massive recall of romaine lettuce across the United States said it was recalling other products - cauliflower and red and green lettuce - due to concerns about a new E. coli outbreak.
Adam Bros Farming in Santa Maria, Calif., has been identified as at least one source of the contaminated romaine lettuce that led to an E. coli outbreak last month, the source of the potential outbreak was reported. The Daily Mail.
Although none of the products have yet tested positive for E. coli, Adam Bros Farming Farm has stated that it is initiating a voluntary review in collaboration with the FDA "as a precaution."
“The recall was initiated after it was discovered that sediment from a tank near where the product was grown tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. Filtered and purified water from the reservoir may have come into contact with the product after it was collected,” the statement said.
Adam Bros Farming added that not a single sample of filtered purified water has yet been tested positive for E. coli and that all tests for E. coli are negative.
Recall that the review includes cauliflower, red and green lettuce, which was collected in the period from November 27 to November 30 and grown "on certain fields."
Adam Bros Farming reported that the recall does not apply to all farm products, adding that no diseases have yet been reported.
Cauliflower potentially affected by E. coli was distributed among wholesalers in Arizona, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania, as well as in Canada and Tijuana, Mexico.
Red and green leaf lettuce went to wholesalers in California, Colorado, Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, Washington and Canada. Red lettuce was also common in Minnesota and Tijuana.
Adam Bros Farming said it had notified buyers of all products that had been recalled, and requested that such products not be “eaten, sold, or transferred to someone.”
The response was initiated a few weeks after the CDC informed the Americans that any Roman salad bought in the country could not be considered safe for use.
Of 59 people who got sick in 15 states during an outbreak of E. coli, 23 were hospitalized, including two people who developed kidney failure.
No deaths were reported.
In addition to warning consumers, the CDC also ordered all retailers and restaurants to stop filing and selling roman until more information about the outbreak appears.
Most people infected with E. coli develop diarrhea and vomiting during the week. Complicated infection can lead to kidney failure and even death.
