The recall was issued after it was discovered that sediment from a reservoir near where the lettuce and cauliflower was growing tested positive for E. coli O157:H7.
Filtered and treated water from the reservoir may have come in contact with the produce after it was harvested. None of the filtered, treated water has tested positive for E. coli.
Infections with E. coli can cause a diarrheal illness that most healthy adults recover from within a week. Some people may develop a type of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), especially young children and elderly adults. The condition can lead to serious kidney damage or death.
