I usually buy romaine from Costco or Publix (their house label), both of which are very careful about sources. The stuff i buy comes in full heads, not chopped. After washing and placing in a gallon zip bag it lasts a good solid week. I hope you're able to have salads without getting sick again.

happened to me and i ended up in the hospital I am very careful about everything now!j Thanks for the washing tip konane!..I have not bought romaine since I was in the hospital because it was in the salad that made me sick but this one on the news has iceburg in it too. AND here i thought that was the safe one to use but I do wash it good!<br

For more years than I can count I've bought whole lettuce, mostly romaine and washed it. I use a few drops of palmolive green dish detergent dissolved in cool water, swish it a few times then rinse through several water changes. There are probably other products which work better, but the green palmolive has always worked well for me.

Click on the link above to read about another salad recall.

I bought one that was pre-washed last year and ended up in the hospital with e-coli and was very sick.

It was called Southwest something (forgot the other part of the name).

Thought about suing Wal-Mart but decided it was too much trouble...that is where I bought it.

Talked to a produce mgr in Harris Teeter about it when I was in there one time and he said that one

had been recalled more than once so now I don't eat pre-washed salads or any other kind that are in a bag.

I buy my salad items and wash them myself!
