GREENSBORO, N.C.--If you have romaine lettuce or eggs in your fridge there's a good chance they could make you sick.
Stay away from romaine lettuce is the message from the CDC after an e-coli outbreak sickened more than 50 people. Of those who got sick, 70 percent are female.
Right now investigators believe the tainted lettuce is from the Yuma, Arizona region which provides 90 percent of romaine lettuce nationwide. But it's still not clear who specifically grew, supplied, or distributed the contaminated vegetables.
The CDC says if you can't confirm where the romaine lettuce came from, don't buy it or eat it and throw away any you have right now.
You should also ask stores and restaurants for their suppliers because most of time it's not listed on the packaging. If it comes from Yuma, pass for now.
Before the lettuce, the problem was with eggs — 200 million of them. Salmonella concerns forced egg distributor Rose Acre Farms to recall the eggs that came from Hyde County in the Outer Banks.
The eggs reached people in nine states including ours, and made at least 23 people sick. On top of that, an FDA farm inspection report with observations from late March to early April found dozens of rodents both dead and alive, dirty equipment, and poor worker hygiene.
The report found that some farm employees touched dirty floors, equipment and parts of their bodies, without washing their hands.
Recalled eggs are labeled with the plant number P-1065 with packing dates ranging from 011-102 on the carton.
