A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it
An E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce ripped across 15 states in November, sickening dozens of people, including a 9-year-old boy in Indiana who nearly died of kidney failure and a 57-year-old Missouri woman who fell ill after attending a funeral lunch. One person died. But chances are you haven't heard about it. The Food and Drug Administration indicated in February that it had closed the investigation without publicly detailing what had happened - or which companies were responsible for growing and processing the contaminated lettuce. According to an internal report obtained by NBC News, the FDA did not name the companies because no contaminated lettuce was left by the time investigators uncovered where the pathogen was coming from. "It is disturbing that FDA hasn't said anything more public or identified the name of a grower or processor," said Yiannas, who was at the FDA from 2018 to 2023. By declining to name the culprit, he said, the FDA was withholding critical information that consumers could use to make decisions about what they buy. It's also possible that someone could have been sickened during the outbreak and not have realized the cause, and serious bacterial illness can cause long-term damage. ------------------------- The GOP are now: Guardians Of Pedophiles |
