Romaine lettuce was recalled...do I throw it away?
The news was saying that some Romaine lettuce was recalled recently. Well, I had JUST bought a bag of it (Romaine lettuce) like the day before yesterday from the supermarket so I could have salads. I'm nervous because I don't want to get salmonella and be sick...I get sick really easily. Should I throw the lettuce away or is it safe to eat? If I wash the lettuce really good, will it be safe? Should I take it back to the store I purchased it from? I'm just not sure what to do...

To be safe, I would throw it away.
It's really not worth it to get sick for a few bucks.
Just wait until the recall is over, and then go get some more.

It depends on which brand was recalled. If it was the same brand as the one you bought, you could either throw it out or try to return/exchange it (I'm not sure how that works), but I would definitely NOT eat it. Even if you wash it "really good," chances are that you won't rinse away the germs.
