Romaine lettuce recalled

via @CNNhealth--  Romaine lettuce are being recalled nationwide among an investigation into an outbreak that has already sickened 19 people.

Vaughan Foods of Moore, Oklahoma, is recalling romaine lettuces with "use by" dates of May 9 and May 10. Their recall comes a week after, Ohio-based, Freshway Foods recalled their romaine lettuce last week. The lettuce are possibly connected to an outbreak of food-borne disease linked to E. coli O145.

Investigators have confirmed that the outbreak has affected 10 people in Michigan, seven in Ohio, and two in New York.

E. coli O145 can cause abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Most healthy adults recover within a week, but young children and the elderly are most at risk for developing severe symptoms.

Freshway Foods has said that it sold the recalled lettuce to businesses in Alabama, Conneticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Customers are being urged not to eat "grab and go" salads sold from salad bars and delis at Kroger, Giant Eagle, Ingles, and Marsh stores. The recall does not affect romaine lettuce from other producers.
