Reminder that if you're getting your lettuce from a local farm at the farmers market, you probably don't have to worry about this. This outbreak is from some industrial romaine lettuce growing and processing operation.
(Yes, it's possible for local produce to be contaminated with E. coli as well. I have no idea if it's more or less likely on average. But it shouldn't be involved in this outbreak, so go ahead and make your salad.)

Lots of stalls at farmer's markets are just buying the same produce as grocery stores and selling it at a higher price while lying about where it came from. http://www.tampabay.com/projects/2016/food/farm-to-fable/farmers-markets/ http://www.tampabay.com/projects/2016/food/farm-to-fable/far... https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/farmers-markets-lies-marketplace-1.4306231 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/farmers-markets-lies-market...
