The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Friday in its ongoing investigation into an E. coli outbreak that “many sick people” reported eating sandwiches with romaine lettuce at Wendy’s restaurants before falling ill.
“State and local public health officials have been interviewing people about the foods they ate in the week before they got sick. Among 26 people who have been interviewed, 22 (86%) reported eating at a Wendy’s restaurant in the week before their illness started,” the CDC announced. “The Wendy’s restaurants where sick people ate are in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.”
