Officials: Multistate hepatitis A cases traced to berries

November 20, 2019

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska and federal health officials say a hepatitis A outbreak that includes Nebraska, Indiana and Wisconsin has been traced to blackberries sold in Fresh Thyme grocery stores.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services says in a news release Wednesday that the outbreak began several week ago in Nebraska. The department says it, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating and have confirmed 11 cases. Six of those cases are in Nebraska.

A phone message left Wednesday with Illinois-based Fresh Thyme was not returned.

The FDA is urging consumers in Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin and eight other states not to eat any fresh blackberries bought from Fresh Thyme between Sept. 9 and Sept. 30. The other states are Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Hepatitis A is a virus that infects the liver and can cause mild, flu-like symptoms for several weeks.

Been eating there for 6 or 7 weeks now, haven't got sick one time. Probably keep us both alive.

Ya, that's what it said and was all about, Del.....

because the lettuce may be contaminated with a strain of E. coli.

Barry, you ever thought of indoor pot lettuce growing?

LPS

I tried it last winter in two 4" diameter pots. Kept forgetting to water them. I need an actual nice big box in the basement with grow lights to make it work. Was fun as heck and easy to grow once it got started outside last summer. Even got into green smoothies just to use it up. They were good too.

Rebel SS

Maybe I shoulda said lettuce IN a pot...

US officials: Don’t eat romaine grown in Salinas, California

November 22, 2019
NATIONAL NEWS FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, TOP STORIES
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials are telling people to avoid romaine lettuce grown in Salinas, California, as they investigate a food poisoning outbreak.

They also say not to eat the leafy green if the label doesn’t say where it was grown.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating an E. coli outbreak that has sickened 40 people in more than a dozen states.

Romaine has been tied to repeated food poisoning outbreaks, including one right before Thanksgiving last year. It’s not clear exactly why romaine keeps sickening people, but food safety experts note the difficulty of eliminating risk for produce grown in open fields and eaten raw.

The FDA says its inquiry has led investigators to farms in Salinas and that they are looking for the contamination source.

Cuz Juan and Carlos know romaine leaves make good toilet paper. Beware of Salinas. On lettuce leave they wipe their P______.

It sure seems like a water thing to me. Or maybe fertilizer.

Wonder if they ever check those irrigation pipes inside that track across the fields?
