THIS IS REAL AND NOT A JOKE

TOSS EM OUT

DON’T RISK ILLNESS OR KIDNEY FAILURE

AND NO. WASHING THE LETTUCE WON’T LOWER RISKS OR REMOVE ANY E. COLI PRESENT. DON’T EAT BAGGED ROMAINE.

Dead-fucking serious, this is not a joke, it’s been all over the news. Just toss out any you have unless you pulled those green leafs out of the ground yourself.

The CDC is telling people not to eat lettuce unless you can confirm it’s not from Yuca Arizona, and you probably can’t tell that from the bags.

Wait for the all-clear.  This hasn’t killed anyone yet, but the strain of e-coli is potentially lethal.

Just want to assert that this is current- April 2018- for anyone who might assume its something old recirculating.
