The Canadian Food Inspection Agency's (CFIA) has announced that the cases of E. coli illness reported in the Maritimes and Ontario may be linked to shredded lettuce distributed by FreshPoint.
The lettuce was distributed primarily to some KFC and KFC-Taco Bell restaurants.
CFIA noted that as lettuce has a short shelf life, the contaminated products are unlikely to still be available. As a precaution, the CFIA is working with FreshPoint to recall any remaining affected products from restaurants.
