SALINAS, Calif. October 3, 2011 (AP)

A California farm that issued a voluntary lettuce recall over listeria contamination concerns says its notice has gone out to 19 states and Canada.

True Leaf Farms of Salinas initially announced a recall of 90 cartons of romaine lettuce shipped to Oregon, Idaho and Washington.

But the chief executive of Church Brothers, which sells and markets the farm's produce, clarified Saturday that the recall involves nearly 2,500 cartons.

CEO Steve Church says most cartons went to institutions such as restaurants and cafeterias, which were notified about the recall. He says only 90 cartons went to retail sales, and those were the ones mentioned in the initial announcement.

I want MORE regulation covering our food...and water...and air...and, well it goes on and on.

I'm sure they only eat specially grown food.

See? Enough people get sick and die, and business will clean up its act. The market works!

The lettuce was shipped to wholesale food distributors in Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Vermont

I guess we all need to grow our own veggies so we don't sicken or kill our children for making them eat their veggies. Sheesh.

...considering its' low nutritional value and the enormous cost on the environment of its' production. Putting a leaf or two of lettuce next to some gobs of processed 'garbage' gives the consumer the belief that they are eating healthy food.

The amount of water used to produce this 'fauxfood' is draining the southwest.
