There was that E. Coli scare with Dole lettuce. Is it okay to eat it now though?!
Answers: My mom picked up Dole lettuce from the store and I didn't know she had and now I'm a little paranoid, but ma says it's not something you can just eliminate from your diet..but at the same time if you're going to throw it up from E. Coli anyway, then what? :(
You should always wash the lettuce, no matter what brand, no matter if the package states that it is already washed. You have no idea where it came from, so I ALWAYS wash mine for my own peiece of mind ; )
Lettuce is cheap, just throw it into your garden for fertilizer if you are that paranoid. But they should of recalled them all before you actually brought it. Or, just buy another brand.
I don't know but throwing up lettuce is really nasty. I did that one time when I got bad dressing on my salad. I couldn't eat lettuce again for a very long time.
