ロメインレタス禁止令

米保健当局「ロメインレタスを食べないで」 O157で食中毒流行
【11月21日 AFP】米疾病対策センター（CDC）は20日、腸管出血性大腸菌O157による食中毒の流行を受けて、自宅にロメインレタスがあった場合、食べずにすべて廃棄するよう消費者に呼び掛けた。米国では家族が集まる感謝祭を2日後に控えている。
CDCは「自宅に何らかの種類のロメインレタスがある場合、たとえ食べて具合が悪くなった人がいなくても、食べずに廃棄する」よう警告。「今回の勧告は、丸ごと一玉、芯、袋入り、箱入り、カット済み、ベビーロメインを含むロメインレタス入りサラダミックス、ベビーリーフミックス、シーザーサラダなどあらゆる種類、あらゆる用法のロメインレタスを対象としている」と述べている。
米国では20日までに、11州で32人が腸管出血性大腸菌O157による食中毒にかかったことが報告され、うち13人が入院した。1人は腎不全を発症したが、現時点で死者は報告されていない。大腸菌感染が疑われるロメインレタスの産地については、まだ正確に特定できていないという。
またカナダの保健当局も、オンタリオ（Ontario）とケベック（Quebec）の2州で大腸菌による食中毒患者18人を確認したと発表している。(c)AFP

In British English, it is commonly known as “cos” lettuce, and in North America as “romaine” lettuce.^[1] Many dictionaries trace the word cos to the name of the Greek island of Cos, from which the lettuce was presumably introduced.^[2] Other authorities trace cos to the Arabic word for lettuce, khus خس [xus].^[3]
It apparently reached Western Europe via Rome, as in Italian it is called lattuga romana and in French laitue romaine, both meaning “Roman lettuce”. Hence the name “romaine”, the common term in North American English.^[3]

Ritual use

For 3000 years (from at least 2700 BC), lettuce was associated with the ancient Egyptian god of fertility, Min, for its resemblance to the phallus.^[4]
Romaine lettuce may be used in the Passover Seder as a type of bitter herb. It symbolises the bitterness inflicted by the Egyptians while the Israelites were slaves in Egypt.^[5][6]

Food safety issues

From November 2017 through January 2018, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHA) identified romaine as being linked to illness in 41 persons in Canada.^[10] A probably related outbreak affected 25 people in 15 states of the U.S. who ate leafy greens, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were unable to confirm that it was romaine in particular. There was one death. The disease agent was Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157:H7. The most recent illness started on December 12, 2017; the PHA declared the outbreak over on January 10, 2018, and the CDC declared it over on January 25.^[11]
In response to another E. coli O157:H7 outbreak, which probably began in mid-March 2018, the CDC recommended in April 2018 that consumers not buy or eat romaine lettuce unless they could confirm it was not from the Yuma, Arizona, growing region.^[12][13] On May 22, 2018, after a month-long warning, the CDC announced it was now safe to consume romaine again.^[14] The outbreak killed five people and caused 89 hospitalizations across 32 states.^[15][16]
In June 2018, the FDA traced the source of the latest E. coli outbreak to water from a canal located in Yuma, Arizona.^[17]
In November 2018, the US CDC and the PHA of Canada issued a warning to consumers that romaine lettuce should not be consumed in any form, and that they should dispose of any currently on hand. The same strain of E. coli identified in the 2017-2018 outbreak was implicated.^[18][19][20]

Other trivia

The day of 22 Germinal in the French Republican Calendar was dedicated to this lettuce, as "Romaine".
