Lettuce Food Poisoning

Lettuce Food Poisoning

Lettuce is one of the most common causes of food poisoning. Since the start of 2018, there have been over 10 major lettuce illness outbreaks involving E.coli. The 2 most recent involved packaged salad kits that sickened at least 30 and romaine lettuce grown in Salinas, CA that sickened at least 138.

Terrible, terrible nausea, vomiting and diarrhea about 24 hours after eating food from this location (everything else I ate in the interim was prepared at home). The location seemed generally dirty and messy; also witnessed (as the food was being made) a receipt fell into the lettuce container.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting

I made a salad at ShopRite salad bar around 4:00 pm on Thursday February 15,2024. Not thinking too much of it I picked through the romaine lettuce and spring mix because it was old and wilted. Looked like it had been sitting out all day. After eating … See More
1/2 of it when I got home I was in the bathroom 2 hours later violently throwing up and stomach cramps so bad I would have called 911 if I had my cell phone on me. I layed there for 10 hours with diarrhea and vomiting the whole time. The next day could barely walk and 4 days later my stomach still hurts I am dehydrated and can barely eat anything but saltines. Worst experience of my life!  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps, Dehydration, Stomach Pain

My husband and I ate at the Cheesecake Factory last night, I had the lemon garlic shrimp and a side salad but some pieces of the lettuce tasted sour to me. A 1/2 hour later I had nausea, then diarrhea and started vomiting. I was sick all night and couldn’t even go to work today.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting

full body chills whenever my stomach hurts & I have to run to the ladies room. (Every 2-4hrs) I've been up all night. Maybe the lettuce or toppings?

We eat there regularly and have never had this issue before!  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Dizziness, Chills

Got a house salad with a salmon fillet and a brownie pizookie on 2/2/2024 and contracted what I believe to be Listeria. About 1½ days of vomiting, severe nausea, diarrhea, and exhaustion. Salmon and salad seemed fine, however my fiancee got a chicken club sandwich (which has … See More
lettuce on it) and experience the same severe nausea, but that was it. Due to this I have reason to believe it was the lettuce, since my lettuce based dish gave me the actual sickness, while he, only eating two leaves of it, received minor symptoms in comparison. Our pizookie was completely raw brownie batter, however the symptoms experienced were too minor and brief to consider something like salmonella from the eggs in the batter.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting
