What happened to this child is horrible.

Reminds me, where are the FDA and CDC in dealing with this unnamed E. coli Outbreak linked to Romaine lettuce?

With no fanfare after 89 reported sick, the FDA closes its E. coli investigation into a romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak without telling the public more and the CDC continues to remain mum.

What we do know. Outbreak posting was 12/4/2024 as an E. coli 
O157:H7 event now tied to Romaine 
Lettuce.* The FDA says that 89 were sick and that the investigation is no closed despite conducting 
Traceback
, 
Inspection
 and Sampling.

Earlier the FDA said: The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners were investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections linked to an iceberg and romaine lettuce blend served at catering events, restaurants, and a school. At the time, based on epidemiological information collected by CDC, a total of 69 people infected with the same strain of E. coli O157 had been reported from 10 states. FDA’s traceback investigation identified an iceberg and romaine lettuce blend from a common supplier as the source of this outbreak; however, impacted product identified to date appeared to be past shelf life and no longer on the market. Te FDA continued to work with the supplier to determine if any additional product could be impacted. At this time, there does not appear to be any ongoing risk to public health and there is no recommendation for consumers to avoid iceberg or romaine lettuce. FDA’s investigation was ongoing, and more information will be provided as it becomes available. 

Well, I guess not.
