DUBLIN, OH (WKZO AM/FM) – Wendy’s is recalling romaine lettuce from a number of its locations following an E. coli outbreak.
Friday the CDC said an outbreak that has seen nearly 40 people get sick and 10 hospitalized could be linked to the lettuce. As a precaution, Wendy’s pulled the lettuce from many of its restaurants in the Midwest, the region where the incidents have been reported.
Nineteen of the people who became ill were in Ohio, 15 in Michigan, two in Pennsylvania and one in Indiana.
The CDC said it’s still safe to eat at Wendy’s and noted that there isn’t any evidence that suggests lettuce in other locations poses a health risk.
