Warning Lettuce E. coli Outbreak
A new outbreak of E. coli in 11 states has been linked by government investigators to bagged, chopped romaine lettuce grown in Yuma, Ariz. Consumer Reports is recommending—for the second time since January—that consumers avoid all romaine lettuce for Time
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday the nationwide E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce from Yuma, Ariz., has expanded to 53 cases in 16 states
The most likely contributing factor involves women's diets, which tend to include more vegetables. A 2012 study of nearly 15,000 men and women published in the medical journal Clinical Infectious Diseases found a higher rate of men ate meat and some poultry than women, who ate fruits and vegetables in higher proportions.
That might explain why a 2016 E. coli outbreak stemming from beef products affected more men than women, CDC statistics show. Yet women made up the majority of those affected by a 2015 outbreak tied to Costco rotisserie chicken salad.
The E. coli outbreak related to romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Ariz., area has resulted in at least 53 illnesses and 31 hospitalisation. The CDC calls on everyone to throw away any romaine lettuce from that region.
