Romaine lettuce is a product taken off the shelves in the wake of an E-coli outbreak in eastern Canada.

As of Thursday, November 22nd, Humboldt Sobey's has recalled all romaine lettuce products. This was taken as a precaution to ensure no E-coli reaches citizens of Humboldt and area.

Dave Doepker, Manager with Humboldt Sobeys, told us why it is important to take such heavy measures in light of such a serious public health issue.

"Food safety is first and foremost in what we try to do every day." Doepker went on "We try to make sure that we hold up to the standards people expect from us and we really try to ensure what we are selling will not affect our customers in any negative way."
