After a week-long warning against eating any romaine lettuce due to an E. coli outbreak, Food and Drug Administration officials have confirmed that some lettuce is now safe to eat, as long as detailed information about its growth region is provided on the label. Consumers should avoid any romaine lettuce grown in Coastal Central regions of northern and central California, ABC News reported.
These Californian regions are believed to be the source of the E. coli outbreak. Specifically, the outbreak is connected to romaine lettuce grown at the end of the summer season.
Romaine lettuce products should be labeled with a harvest location by region, the official Center for Disease Control and Prevention report says. Packages labeled with a harvest region outside of the Central Coastal growing regions of northern and central California are not affected by the outbreak.
