A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it

  • An E. Coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce affected 15 states and resulted in one death and 36 hospitalizations, including a 9-year-old boy who nearly died of kidney failure.
  • The Food and Drug Administration closed its investigation without publicly naming companies responsible for the contaminated lettuce.
  • Victims faced severe health issues, prompting lawsuits against Taylor Farms, which is accused of selling defective produce.
  • Critics argue that the FDA's failure to disclose outbreak details undermines public safety and accountability, especially after significant staff cuts due to government restructuring.
