6. I like romaine, especially in the hot summer (and it has been far too hot this July).

But there have been far too many issues linked to problems with it this year and the reporting has been after the fact, or in the early part of the year only done after Canadian food safety and Consumer Reports sounded the alarm.

Even in this latest instance, they buried the lede by emphasizing the salads and wraps had the meat component. At first read of the headline and article the problem seems to stem from the meat, but after reading more closely, it is clear it is the romaine lettuce - again.

at the ID for groceries reference - good one.
