HOLD THE LETTUCE!: Fast-food chain pulls sandwich ingredient over E. coli concern

Wendy’s said the lettuce served in its salad options are different from the romaine option on its sandwiches and has not needed to be pulled from the menu as a result of the outbreak. "As a company, we are committed to upholding our high standards of food safety and quality," Wendy’s said in a statement.
The CDC said there is no evidence that any romaine lettuce sold in grocery stores has been linked with the E. coli outbreak. The top disease agency also does not recommend people avoid eating at Wendy’s or stop buying romaine lettuce. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
