An E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce, triggering a nation-wide warning to not consume it, has been tracked to a farm in Santa Barbara County, federal health officials reported on Thursday, December 13. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said E.coli had been discovered in the sediment of a water reservoir used to irrigate the Adam Brother Farms. However, they stated that there may be other sources and the investigation was continuing. Officials said a ban on romaine lettuce from Ventura, Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo counties farms has been lifted, but an advisory remains in effect for lettuce grown in Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Barbara counties.
Federal health officials said 7 additional cases of E.coli infections have been reported since December 6, 2018 bringing the total to 59 cases from 15 states and the District of Columbia since the outbreak was first reported in early October of 2018.
