The U.S. Food and Drug Administration traceback efforts indicate that the E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce likely started in the Central Coast growing regions of northern and central California. The specific California counties included in the region are Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, and Ventura.
Analysis of information available through November 30 has not narrowed the potential sources of contaminated romaine lettuce to a specific farm, processor, shipper, or distribution center. The FDA continues to recommend that consumers not eat romaine lettuce grown in the identified counties until the investigation identifies a source or sources to explain the outbreak. Full Notice
