Company yanks produce in wake of 16 cantaloupe deaths
(NEWSER) - A California food company has recalled some 30,000 pounds of lettuce feared tainted by listeria. The lettuce was distributed in 19 states and Canada, reports the Wall Street Journal . So far no illness linked to the lettuce has been reported, but 16 people have died from listeria in Colorado cantaloupe . Most of the chopped romaine lettuce sold by True Leaf Farms of San Juan Bautista was sold to food-service companies and likely ended up in restaurants and cafeterias. Random tests discovered listeria in a batch of the lettuce, and True Leaf voluntarily recalled all 90 cartons shipped to an Oregon distributor, reports AP . Officials are seeking the source of the contamination. More»
