Ohio needs a break.  Many of its citizens are also involved in the current E. coli O145 outbreak linked to contaminated romaine lettuce manufactured by Freshway Foods and, possibly, grown by Andrew Smith Company in Yuma, Arizona.  The FDA and CDC count at least 29 confirmed and probable illnesses in the romaine lettuce E. coli O145 outbreak, with at least 12 hospitalizations and 3 cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome.  The outbreak has also caused illnesses in a number of Washtenaw County residents, including multiple students at the University of Michigan.  And, the outbreak has sickened multiple students in the town of Wappinger Falls, New York and at Daemen College in Buffalo.

Food companies need to give Ohioans a break.
