Why is it always romaine specifically

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

probably coming from the same farms that have it. the e.coli strain is most likely O15H7 strain, which is the deadly strain. apparently it comes from cattle, goats,,eetc.

The FDA won't even know when the next one happens. There won't be any investigation, whether evidence remains or not.

So basically deny until it's too late and then do nothing - just like they did with COVID.
