(CNN) Just days after health officials urged Americans to throw out their salad kits over E. coli concerns, the Food and Drug Administration announced it's investigating three separate E. coli outbreaks linked to salad products. But during the multi-state investigation taking place, Wisconsin health officials found the bacteria in a pre-washed cropped romaine lettuce bag from Salinas, Valley, California, officials said. "To date, the CDC reported eight confirmed cases in the U.S. across three states associated with this cluster of illnesses," the FDA said. The third outbreak is associated with romaine lettuce from Washington state restaurant chain Evergreens, the agency and local health officials said. The outbreaks seem to be from three different strains of E. coli, the FDA said.
