Lettuce Cleared in St. Louis E. Coli Outbreak Investigation
TL;DR
An E. coli outbreak in St. Louis County, which sickened over 100 people, has not been linked to lettuce from Andre's Banquet Center, despite initial suspicions. The Missouri Department of Health found no E. coli in the lettuce, but officials caution that this does not rule out the salads as a source due to the nature of bacterial contamination. The outbreak has led to serious health complications for some, and several lawsuits have been filed against the catering company.
