WENDY’S REMOVES ROMAINE LETTUCE FROM SANDWICHES AMID E. COLI OUTBREAK

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD/WJW) — Wendy’s is removing romaine lettuce from their
sandwiches after half of the patients in the Michigan E. coli outbreak reported
eating at the restaurant.

While no specific food as been confirmed to be source of the outbreak, the state
health department said that more than 55% of the patients in cases in Michigan
reported consuming food — specifically sandwiches with romaine lettuce — at
Wendy’s restaurant locations.

CDC investigating ‘fast-moving’ E. coli outbreak that has sickened dozens

The restaurant is removing the lettuce from locations in that region for the
time being, as precaution. Wendy’s uses a different type of romaine lettuce in
its salads.



Wendy’s released the following statement:

“We are fully cooperating with public health authorities on their ongoing
investigation of the regional E. coli outbreak reported in certain midwestern
states. While the CDC has not yet confirmed a specific food as the source of
that outbreak, we are taking the precaution of removing the sandwich lettuce
from restaurants in that region. The lettuce that we use in our salads is
different, and is not affected by this action. As a company, we are committed to
upholding our high standards of food safety and quality.“

In a Friday press release, MDHHS said that there were 43 confirmed shiga toxin
E. coli cases in the state. The illnesses happened in late July through early
August in 18 jurisdictions. Cases were reported in Allegan, Branch, Clinton,
Genesee, Gratiot, Jackson, Kent, Macomb, Midland, Monroe, Muskegon, Oakland,
Ogemaw, Ottawa, Saginaw Washtenaw, and Wayne counties.



The E. coli outbreak has been affecting people ages 6 to 94 years old. Fifty-six
percent of people with the infection have been hospitalized. Four cases of
hemolytic uremic syndrome, a complication related to shiga toxin E. coli
infections, have also been identified.

E. coli cases rising in W MI, hospitalizing kids

Symptoms of E. coli infection typically appear three to four days after the
exposure and usually improve in five to seven days.

MDHHS reminds Michigan residents to seek medical attention if they experience
symptoms such as severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting or other
gastrointestinal distress. It also urged people to take proper precautions when
they are handling food.

For more information on E. coli, visit the USDA website on protection from
foodborne illness or the CDC website on prevention. Find food safety information
on the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development website.
