It’s been a few weeks since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced their recall of romaine lettuce, but vegetables are still being recalled due to the E.Coli outbreak that has plagued the United States and Canada since the beginning of 2018.

The California farm Adam Brothers Farming Inc. is one facility that has been tied to the romaine outbreak. Now, the company is recalling its cauliflower as well as several other types of lettuce “because it may be contaminated” with the dangerous bacteria.

The latest recall is for red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, and cauliflower harvested on November 27 through November 30, 2018. These products were sent out to wholesalers across the country as well as in Mexico and Canada.

A press release stated that none of the products have tested positive for E. Coli, but they’re taking these measures “out of an abundance of caution.”

“Adam Bros. Farming, Inc. feels a strong commitment to its customers and has worked for years to provide a safe and healthy food supply,” the release said. “Out of an abundance of caution, Adam Bros. Farming, Inc. is initiating this voluntary recall in cooperation with the FDA.”

No illnesses have been reported yet, but if you have purchased any of these products, you should throw them away immediately. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that it can take up to ten days to start showing symptoms after eating something contaminated with E. Coli. Symptoms of this include stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), fever (less than 101 degrees Fahrenheit), and vomiting.

“That’s why we think it’s critical to get this information out,” one expert explained. “We understand fully the impact this has, not just on the growers and the distributors but also on consumers – consumers who are preparing meals for the holidays, who have product now that they’re going to need to discard, maybe food that they’ve already cooked.”
