California farm suspected in romaine outbreak recalls other produce

December 15, 2018 - from FoodSafetyNews and the Adams Bros Farms:

"Adam Bros. Farming Inc. of Santa Maria, California “out of an abundance of caution” has recalled red leaf lettuce, green leaf lettuce and cauliflower harvested this year from Nov. 27 through Nov 30 for it may be contaminated with E. Coli O157: H7."
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Dec. 13 said its traceback in the ongoing E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce led investigators to the Adams Bros. farm in Santa Barbara, CA. However, romaine lettuce is not on the recall list."
"The recall was initiated after it was discovered that sediment from a reservoir near where the produce was grown tested positive for E. coli O157: H7."
"Adams Bros. says none of the recalled product has tested positive for E. coli O157: H7 and no illnesses have been reported."
"The California grower said it issued the recall in cooperation with the FDA. The recall involves produce harvested from particular fields. It does not include all of Adam Bros. Farming, Inc.’s products."
"As of Dec 13, Adam Bros. Farming Inc. has notified its affected customers of all product that was recalled, asking that the product not be eaten, sold, or transferred. Furthermore, Adam Bros. requested that its customers notify the downline chain of custody to ensure a full recall."
"Cauliflower was distributed to wholesalers in AZ, CA, IL, LA, MD, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA. Tijuana, Mexico, and Canada; red and green leaf lettuce was distributed to wholesalers in CA, CO, OR, TX, PA, WA, and Canada; red leaf lettuce only was distributed to a wholesaler in MN, and Tijuana, Mexico."
