Cuomo: Two NYers among 32 sickened by bad lettuce

ALBANY — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday noted that two of the 32 people sickened by a national E. coli outbreak are in New York.

Cuomo cautioned New Yorkers to follow the food safety alert from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to not eat any romaine lettuce due to the outbreak.

“As we prepare to gather with family and friends for the Thanksgiving holiday, I urge all New Yorkers to follow the CDC’s guidelines and refrain from eating or serving romaine lettuce until it is safe to do so,” Cuomo said in a press release. “As always, New Yorkers should be aware of current product recalls and food safety recommendations to ensure a happy and healthy holiday for all.”
