Romaine Lettuce Recall 2010 Incites Calls For Stronger Regulation
Freshway Foods of Ohio has called for a romaine lettuce recall 2010. 19 cases of E Coli have been confirmed because of the romaine lettuce in this recall. You may need money now to go see a doctor if you have eaten the romaine lettuce in this recall.
Romaine lettuce recall 2010 includes only pre-shredded lettuce products
Announced on Thursday evening, the romaine lettuce recall is only for pre-shredded lettuce. Any Freshway Foods shredded romaine with a "use by" date after May 12 should be thrown out. Deli or grab-and-go salads from Ingles Markets, Giant Eagle, Kroger, or Marsh stores should be thrown out. Other suppliers of romaine lettuce and other fresh greens are not included in the lettuce recall. It appears the recalled lettuce was grown in Arizona and shipped to wholesalers across the country.
Calls for stronger food safety after romaine lettuce recall 2010
Calls for stronger food safety regulation has come close on the heels of the romaine lettuce recall 2010. The senate has not yet taken action on the House bill that passed last year, to give the FDA more powers over food regulation . Though E Coli is usually found in undercooked meat, it can be found on any food product. However, the fact that lettuce is not usually cooked means the infection cannot be killed. Washing greens and properly storing them can minimize the risk of E Coli.
Why stronger regulations may not fix the lettuce recall
Food safety questions have been raised by both the romaine lettuce recall and spinach recalls before it. Though many often call for "stronger regulation" to "protect food safety" after lettuce recalls, there is an argument against this stronger regulation. This recall started with a large romaine lettuce grower that focused on growing and shipping lettuce around the country. Stronger regulation on food tends to favor mega-food companies who can afford the new inspections, equipment or processes required. The new regulations tend to push smaller growers out of business, even though they are not usually to blame for the lettuce recalls. Smaller growers end up getting pushed out of a market, even though they are not to blame for romaine lettuce recall 2010.
How to react to the romaine lettuce recall 2010
If you think that you have gotten sick from the romaine lettuce recall 2010, contact your local health department. Do not eat the products implicated in the lettuce recall. Make sure to wash all greens – even “pre-washed” greens. Only one lettuce grower, and a very tiny percentage of their product, has been implicated in this 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.
