SALINAS, Calif. (AP) -
A Northern California producer supplier has announced a voluntary recall of romaine lettuce over fears of possible E. coli contamination.
The lettuce was shipped to 19 states, Puerto Rico and Canada.
Salinas-based Tanimura & Antle says they are recalling a single lot of its Field Fresh Wrapped Single Head Romaine that was available at retail stores starting August 2nd. The lettuce is packed in a plastic bag with the UPC number 0-27918-20314-9, and it may have a "best by" date of Aug. 19.
The company says about 2,095 cases are potentially affected, but there have been no reported illnesses associated with consumption of this product.
