Romaine lettuce marketed by Freshway Foods in 23 states, including Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, has been recalled because of a potentially deadly bacteria linked to an outbreak of illness.
Freshway Foods markets the lettuce to stores and delis, including Kroger, Ingles Markets, Giant Eagle and Marsh.
Locally, Kroger has stores in Dalton and Calhoun, Ga., as well as Decherd, Tenn.
Ingles has stores in Ringgold, Trenton, Chatsworth, Summerville, Calhoun and Blue Ridge in Georgia, as well as in Jasper and Athens in Tennessee.
Officials with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the lettuce may be the cause of an outbreak of illness linked to E. coli in Michigan, Ohio and New York.
