US: Salinas company issues romaine lettuce recall

A Salinas company is recalling romaine lettuce because it may be contaminated with salmonella.

Tanimura & Antle Inc. issued the recall after a random test conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture tested positive for salmonella. The company has instructed stores in 29 states, including California, to destroy the lettuce. The lettuce also was sold to wholesalers and food-service providers.

The cartons and wrapped heads of romaine are marked with the lot code 531380 and were harvested from June 25 to July 2. Although the recalled product is past its expiration date, Tanimura & Antle is recalling the lettuce to ensure that it does not reach consumers.

As of 1 p.m. PST today, there have been no illnesses reported, and the company said it was working with FDA to inform consumers about the recall.
