Federal health officials expanded their E. coli warning to all types of romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Arizona, region as they investigate the nationwide outbreak affecting dozens of people.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said people in Alaska reported getting sick after eating whole heads of romaine lettuce from Yuma. Previously the warning only referred to chopped romaine. It’s now expanded to all types, including hearts of romaine, salads and salad mixes.
