A Northern California produce supplier said Sunday it is voluntarily recalling romaine lettuce that was shipped to 19 states, including New York, Puerto Rico and Canada over fears about possible E. coli contamination.
The company said some 2,095 cases were potentially affected. Of those, 1,969 cases were shipped to Puerto Rico and the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
The product was packed with either 12 or 18 heads per case.
