romaine

After the massive romaine recall, I went into metro yesterday and there was a very large area that was empty as they has pulled everything. I picked up some green leaf lettuce because the chef's plate had sent romaine and I could replace it that way. (The Chef's plate mailed before the recall)

In reading about the issue, the outbreak seems to have been going on since early october and they only pulled the romaine now? They seem to have figured out that it potentially comes from California, so I assume they could have left the other romaine. And I assume there probably is only one location of the contamination in California, I am wondering how they are trying to find that and how well they track the shipments of romaine. So many questions. I wish I could be an outbreak detective!
