A total of 84 people across four states have now been made ill by E. coli, in an outbreak possibly tied to contaminated lettuce used in sandwiches sold at Wendy's restaurants.
"Of 17 people with detailed information about what they ate at Wendy’s, 15 reported eating romaine lettuce served on burgers and sandwiches," the agency noted.
"Wendy’s is taking the precautionary measure of removing the romaine lettuce being used in sandwiches from restaurants in that region," the CDC said."Investigators are working to confirm whether romaine lettuce is the source of this outbreak, and whether romaine lettuce used in Wendy’s sandwiches was served or sold at other businesses."
