MILWAUKEE, WI— Tanimura & Antle Inc. is voluntarily recalling its packaged single head romaine lettuce under the Tanimura & Antle brand, labeled with a packed on date of 10/15/2020 or 10/16/2020, due to possible contamination with E. Coli, according to the FDA.

Packages contain a single head of romaine lettuce with the UPC number 0-27918-20314-9.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the recalled product.

The Milwaukee Walmart stores impacted include:

• 401 E CAPITOL DR
• 3355 S 27TH ST
• 10330 W SILVER SPRING DR
• 7025 W MAIN ST

The recall is being conducted in consultation with FDA, and is based on the test result of a random sample collected and analyzed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development as part of their routine sampling program.

A total of 3,396 cartons of potentially affected product were distributed in the United States to the following states: AK, OR, CA, TX, AR, OK, IN, NE, MO, TN, WI, NM, SC, WA, NC, OH, VA, MA, PR, and IL.

E. coli O157:H7 causes a diarrheal illness often with bloody stools, according to the FDA. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly.
