California farm linked to romaine lettuce E.coli outbreak recalls additional produce

A California farm that federal health officials traced to the recent E.coli outbreak from romaine lettuce has recalled additional produce “out of an abundance of caution,” the facility announced Thursday.

Adam Bros. Farming Inc. in Santa Maria has recalled red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce, and cauliflower that was harvest from Nov. 27 to Nov. 30.

While none of the recalled products have tested positive for E. coli, and no illnesses associated with these produce items have been reported, the farm said: “Out of an abundance of caution, Adam Bros. Farming, Inc. is initiating this voluntary recall in cooperation with the FDA.”

“The recall was initiated after it was discovered that sediment from a reservoir near where the produce was grown tested positive for E. coli,” the farm explained.

Adams Bros. Farming Inc. added the recalled produce was “grown in particular fields” and does not involve all of its products.

called sediment ponds or retention ponds . Wash off from Feedlots and Dairy Yards are the main suspect for E-Coli.

I ALMOST bought some red leaf lettuce to replace the romaine.... Bought butter lettuce instead. Haven't gotten sick from it, but hope that isn't next on the list. I don't like iceberg.

Most of them are greenhouse grown this time of year.
