The CDC reported that while a specific food has not yet been confirmed as the source of this outbreak, most sick people reported eating sandwiches with romaine lettuce at Wendy’s restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania before getting sick. Based on this information, Wendy’s is taking the precautionary measure of removing the romaine lettuce used in sandwiches from restaurants in that region. Wendy’s uses a different type of romaine lettuce for salads. Investigators are working to confirm whether romaine lettuce is the source of this outbreak and whether romaine lettuce used in Wendy’s sandwiches was served or sold at other businesses. The outbreak caused 37 illnesses, with 10 hospitalizations. @ https://www.cdc.gov/ecoli/2022/o157h7-08-22/index.html
