“An outbreak of E. coli infections has been reported in six states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday. At least 12 people have been infected. Five were hospitalized.

The CDC notice is connected to a voluntary recall of packages of romaine lettuce sold under the name Tanimura & Antle at Walmart stores. On Nov. 6, Tanimura & Antle said the affected products were distributed to 19 states and Puerto Rico. The recalled romaine lettuce was labeled with a "packed on" date of 10/15/2020 or 10/16/2020.“
