CDC: Don't eat romaine lettuce unless you know it isn't from Arizona

American consumers are urged to stay away from salad for the time being, after an E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce has spread to 16 states. The warning goes out to grocery stores and restaurants across the United States.

Because of the new cases in Alaska, which include eight inmates in the state, CDC said it's expanding its warning to cover whole heads and hearts of romaine lettuce, in addition to chopped romaine and salads and salad mixes containing romaine.

For now, the CDC warns against eating or buying any romaine lettuce unless it's possible to confirm that it did not come from the Yuma growing region.

A previous warning from the CDC had focused specifically on chopped romaine, but the expanded warning now includes whole heads and hearts of the lettuce after several people in Alaska contracted E. coli from a head of romaine. Their advice: "Throw out any romaine lettuce if you're uncertain about where it was grown. even if some of it was eaten and no one has gotten sick". If you do not know if the lettuce is romaine, do not eat it and throw it away.

Restaurants and retailers should ask their suppliers about the source of their romaine lettuce.

Since no single grower, brand, or distributor has been implicated in the outbreak, consumers should also dispose of any store-bought romaine lettuce they already have at home, the advisory says.

So far, no deaths have been reported. More serious infections may lead to complications including a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome, according to the CDC. The investigation is ongoing.
