E. coli Recall: Foxy Lettuce from California

On October 8, 2008, Nunes Company of Salinas Valley, California, recalled green-leaf lettuce distributed under the Foxy brand because tests revealed E. coli contamination of a water reservoir that had been used to irrigate the lettuce plants.

Most of the recalled lettuce has been recovered. Cartons of the recalled California, Foxy-brand lettuce are labeled "Green Leaf 24 Count, waxed carton" or "Green Leaf 18 Count, cellophane sleeve, returnable carton." They are also marked with a lot code: 6SL0024. The lettuce was distributed in California and other Western states.

If you have eaten any Foxy brand lettuce, you should watch for symptoms of E. coli O157:H7, including nausea, cramps, mild fever and bloody diarrhea. If you have bloody diarrhea, go to the doctor and ask to be tested for E. coli poisoning.
