Freshway Foods Lettuce Recall and
E. coli Victim Compensation

On May 6, 2010, Freshway Foods of Sidney, Ohio voluntarily recalled romaine lettuce products with a with a use by date of May 12 or earlier because they have the potential to be contaminated with Escherichia coli O145 bacteria (E. coli O145). The products were sold under the Freshway brand and Imperial Sysco brand.

This recall includes romaine lettuce products sold by Freshway Foods for food service outlets, wholesale, and in-store retail salad bars and delis; no other products are involved.

The recalled romaine lettuce products were sold to wholesalers and food service outlets in the following states: Alabama, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The recalled romaine products were also sold for distribution to in-store salad bars and delis for Kroger, Giant Eagle, Ingles Markets, and Marsh stores in the states listed. 

The recall comes after FDA informed Freshway Foods the afternoon of Wednesday, May 5 that a previously unopened product sample in a New York state laboratory tested positive for the bacteria. Freshway Foods traced the entire lot of romaine products and is advising customers to cease use and distribution of it immediately. This recall may be linked to an E. coli O145 outbreak investigation in New York, Michigan, and Ohio.  

Consumers who purchased romaine from an in-store salad bars and delis at Kroger, Giant Eagle, Ingles Markets, and Marsh stores in the states previously listed should throw the product away UNLESS SOMEONE HAS EATEN THE LETTUCE AND MAY CONTRACT OR HAS CONTRACTED AN E COLI O145 INFECTION. If someone is diagnosed with E. coli O145, you should contact our law firm about testing the lettuce for E. coli O145. Leftover lettuce can be evidence in a lawsuit against Freshway Foods and others.
