Lakeside Organic Gardens Re: CDC Food Safety Alert Outbreak of E. coli Infections Linked to Romaine Lettuce In light of today’s CDC’s announcement of the Outbreak of E. coli Infections Linked to Romaine Lettuce, Lakeside Organic Gardens is temporarily stopping the harvest and shipment of Lakeside’s Organic Romaine lettuce, until the advisory has been lifted. Lakeside Organic Gardens maintains full control of our planting, growing, harvesting, cooling and shipping processes. We go above and beyond LGMA (Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement), food safety standards, which include the most modern science-based cultural practices protecting consumers. We are confident that our Organic Romaine Lettuce will not be identified in this situation however, we are following and respecting CDC’s Food Safety advisory. We would like to stress that the health and safety of our customers and consumers is of utmost importance to Lakeside Organic Gardens. We apologize for any inconvenience it may cause and we are hopeful that this advisory will be resolved soon. Sincerely, Brian Peixoto Executive Sales Manager Lakeside Organic Gardens
