World News (8/20, story 7, 0:25, Sawyer) reported, "And now we have a
new warning tonight about contaminated fruits and vegetables. Last week, we
told you about cantaloupe from Indiana carrying salmonella and today a major
recall of romaine lettuce grown in California and shipped to 19 states. The
fear is E. coli."
The Santa Fe New Mexican (8/21, Haywood) reports
that Food and Drug Administration has "issued a nationwide recall of a
specific lot of romaine lettuce, some of which was shipped to New Mexico, that
has tested positive for E. coli bacteria." The agency said that some of
the "individually wrapped heads of Tanimura & Antle brand romaine
could have been sold at Walmart stores in the state between Aug. 2 and Aug.
19." Thus far, no related illnesses have been reported. The New Mexico
Environment Department said the recall is a "precaution based on the
testing of a single, random sample by the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency."
WUSA-TV Washington (8/21, Wilson) on its website
adds that the Tanimaura and Antle Field Fresh Wrapped lettuce wrappings were
stamped with an Aug. 19 "use by date."
