Recalled lettuce tests negative for E. coli

Infection Control Monitor, October 13, 2006

First it was spinach, then a scare over lettuce. However, California lettuce recalled over fears the crop was tainted with E. coli, tested negative for a sometimes deadly strain of the bacteria, company officials told the Associated Press (AP) on Tuesday.

The Nunes Company Inc. of Salinas, California, said samples of green leaf lettuce tested negative for the E. coli strain responsible for the outbreak linked to spinach that killed three people and sickened 199 others,  the AP reported.
