Not a word about halting imports from the source in order to protect the public.

Here's a bit more:

State health officials are working to track down the source of the contaminated lettuce in this year's outbreak. In the meantime, the best thing you can do — short of getting a hepatitis A vaccination — is to wash the lettuce.

With lettuce, some people "throw it in a colander, and swish water around — that's not going to be effective." A better idea, officials said, is to rinse the lettuce in cool water. Using a brush may also be more effective.

I think I'll stick with my home grown stuff (lettuce, that is).
