I am engaging with the FDA and romaine lettuce producers about this outbreak.

I urged Commissioner Gottlieb to work collaboratively and communicatively with industry partners to minimize any health risks to consumers and reduce the loss of safe and healthy crops that are not connected to this outbreak.
