Lettuce Recalled Due To Salmonella Risk


Identified Source –
A major California lettuce grower has recalled about 22,000 cartons of romaine lettuce over concerns that the product may be tainted with salmonella.
Tanimura & Antle Inc. of Salinas issued the voluntary recall Wednesday for cartons of bulk or wrapped romaine marked with the lot code 531380.

The lettuce was harvested between June 25 and July 2, and sold to retail, wholesale and food service outlets across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Westborn Market Sources –
Currently ALL Westborn Market Romaine Lettuce is purchased from Local Michigan Farmers. Our Red Romaine Lettuce is from California but, from D' Arrigo Bros. Company of California which is NOT the same grower as the grower involved with the current recall.
