The government is still investigating how romaine lettuce from Yuma, Arizona, apparently became contaminated with E. coli bacteria. Growers in Yuma typically plant romaine lettuce between September and January. Both family-run operations and big chains say they’ve checked with suppliers and are confident their romaine comes from places that aren’t affected by E. coli. Frog Holler, a produce wholesaler that distributes to restaurants in Michigan, says all of its romaine comes from California. They hope the E. coli issue is cleared up soon and that people recognize the problem doesn’t affect all romaine lettuce.
