Recalled Romaine Lettuce Was Sold At These Twin Cities Grocery Stores

TWIN CITIES, MN — The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is alerting consumers to avoid eating romaine lettuce after a Cyclospora outbreak that affected dozens of grocery stores in Minnesota.

Consumers should not eat Ocean Mist Farms-brand Romaine Hearts — also known as Coeurs de laitue Romaine —with coding "22RHDM2L" and harvest date of "MAR 10." The lettuce was grown in Coachella, CA.

The state agriculture laboratory found Cyclospora — an intestinal illness — in the lettuce during routine surveillance sampling. Customers who purchased the product should throw it out, officials said.

So far, no illnesses linked to this brand of lettuce have been reported in Minnesota, according to a news release.

People with symptoms are encouraged to call their doctor.
