Why washing E. Coli-contaminated romaine lettuce isn't safe enough

Hosted by

If you have romaine lettuce in your fridge, throw it out. That’s what the CDC said on Tuesday after a deadly strain of the E. Coli bacteria hit 11 states, including California, and two Canadian provinces. So far, the outbreak has sent 19 people to the hospital and sicked 31 others. This comes eight months after the last outbreak in Arizona.
