• · E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce continues. Do not eat or buy ANY type of #romaine lettuce unless you can confirm it is not from the Yuma, Arizona growing region. http://go.usa.gov/xQbwb
• · Mas Food Services Co. Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Sulfites in The Peruchef Dry Potato http://dlvr.it/QT5fDR
• · While CDC recently updated the case count for the salmonella outbreak in eggs, these are old cases meaning the last new illness was from last month (April 14, 2018). https://go.usa.gov/xQXDV
• · It’s #NationalHamburgerMonth– Top your burger with whatever you want, but make sure the inside is cooked - for burgers at least 160ºF. #FoodSafety
• · FDA & CDC remind consumers to not eat any of the recalled eggs from Rose Acre Farms. These eggs were recalled April 13 & 16 so stores should not have them for purchase. Eggs last about three weeks - consumers should check they don’t have recalled eggs. https://go.usa.gov/xQXDV
• · #FDA inspected Rose Acre Farms last month and the company is taking corrective action. FDA is monitoring to ensure the appropriate action takes place. https://go.usa.gov/xQXDV
• · Federal health officials updated consumer advice today because it is highly unlikely that romaine lettuce from the Yuma growing region is still in the supply chain: https://go.usa.gov/xQbAz
• · We know romaine lettuce has not been shipped from the Yuma area since mid-April. Consumers can be confident that romaine currently available for purchase is not part of this outbreak investigation: https://go.usa.gov/xQbAz
• · #FDA ruled out that the contamination was caused by just one farm suggesting it was a complex problem and will take further time to investigate https://go.usa.gov/xQbAz Our goal is to find the source of this outbreak. We’ll use what we learn to improve our food safety system
