Freshway Foods Lettuce Recall
The E. coli O145 outbreak that has sickened people in Michigan, New York and Ohio has been linked to Freshway Foods romaine lettuce. The outbreak has prompted Freshway Foods, a Sidney, Ohio firm, to recall products containing romaine lettuce with a use by date of May 12 or earlier. The recall comes after FDA informed Freshway Foods the afternoon of Wednesday, May 5 that a previously unopened product sample in a New York state laboratory tested positive for the bacteria.
