Publisher’s Platform: FDA closes romaine lettuce outbreak with 89 sick and says nothing more?
— OPINION —
With no fanfare after 89 reported sick, the FDA has closed its investigation into a romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak without telling the public more and the CDC continues to remain mum.
What we do know: Outbreak posting was Dec. 4, 2024 as an E. coli O157:H7 event now tied to romaine lettuce. The FDA says that 89 were sick and that the investigation is now closed despite conducting Traceback , Inspection and Sampling.
Earlier the FDA said: The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners were investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections linked to an iceberg and romaine lettuce blend served at catering events, restaurants, and a school. At the time, based on epidemiological information collected by CDC, a total of 69 people infected with the same strain of E. coli O157 had been reported from 10 states. FDA’s traceback investigation identified an iceberg and romaine lettuce blend from a common supplier as the source of this outbreak; however, impacted product identified to date appeared to be past shelf life and no longer on the market. Te FDA continued to work with the supplier to determine if any additional product could be impacted. At this time, there does not appear to be any ongoing risk to public health and there is no recommendation for consumers to avoid iceberg or romaine lettuce. FDA’s investigation was ongoing, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
Well, I guess not.
