Ecoli Cases Leading Back To Shredded Lettuce

It's believed shredded lettuce distributed by Freshpoint is the cause of a new confirmed case of E. coli in the province.
There is an investigation underway to find the source.
 Lab results show there's a link with six other cases already reported.
Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Eilish Cleary says you should throw the outer leaves of lettuce and cabbage away, then remove the remaining leaves and thoroughly rinse them in water for about 30 seconds before eating.
