Romaine lettuce recall 2010 affects shredded romaine

If you have any Freshway Foods shredded romaine lettuce that has a “use by” date on the package of May 12 or later, you need to throw it out. This romaine lettuce recall 2010 also affects grab-and-go salads from Marsh, Ingles Markets, Giant Eagle, or Kroger stores. No other romaine lettuce supplier or fresh green brand has been integrated within the romaine lettuce recall. Wholesalers around the country were shipped the lettuce, which was grown in Arizona.
A lot more regulation because of the romaine lettuce recall 2010
The romaine lettuce recall 2010 has once again raised calls for stronger food-safety regulation. The senate has not yet taken action on the House bill that passed last year, to give the FDA a lot more powers over food regulation . Though E Coli is typically found in undercooked meat, it could be found on any food product. However, the fact lettuce is not typically cooked means the infection can’t be killed. Washing greens and properly storing them can minimize the risk of E Coli.
Why stronger regulations may not fix the lettuce recall
The lettuce recall, like spinach and fresh greens recalls before it, has raised questions of food safety. There are many arguments against stronger regulation, despite the fact that recalls typically increase the volume of calls for regulation. This lettuce recall originated with a large grower who grows hundreds of thousands of acres of lettuce and ships it across the country. New regulations come with new requirements that require equipment, inspections, or processes that tend to be very expensive. The new regulations tend to push smaller growers out of business, despite the fact that they are not typically to blame for the lettuce recalls. Unless regulations are written very carefully, the growers that are not the problem tend to be pushed out of business.
What to do about the romaine lettuce recall 2010
If you think the lettuce recall affects you, then contact your local health department. You need to not eat any of the products in the recall. Thoroughly wash and properly store all greens. The good news is that the lettuce recall affects a relatively small percentage of the lettuce accessible in the United States – and no other greens or growers are shown to be unsafe in this lettuce recall. If you are concerned about possibly eating romaine lettuce recall 2010 lettuce, give mescalun greens a try — or iceberg, or spinach, or radicchio or even rocket lettuce.
