The investigation continues on a recent E. Coli outbreak that has affected multiple individuals across four states. Residents in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania have reported becoming ill after visiting local Wendy’s restaurants.
Those affected reported eating sandwiches containing romaine lettuce. To date, there have been 37 people sickened, and 10 people hospitalized due to the outbreak. Investigations are ongoing, as there may be more states affected by the outbreak.
Locally, Wendy’s restaurants have responded to this potential outbreak by not serving any lettuce on their menu items.
