FRANKLIN, 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.

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

The Franklin Walmart store impacted:

• 6701 S 27TH ST

Several stores in Milwaukee, Greendale, and Greenfield were also impacted.

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.

E. coli O157:H7 causes a diarrheal illness often with bloody stools, according to the FDA.

HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly.
