A serious outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 contamination in the US and Canada has prompted the Food and Drug Administration to remind Chinese to wash lettuce from overseas countries and tighten import controls. Chief of Food Import Control Division of the Food and Drug Administration, Mr Ng Chung-hee, said that there had been no cases of O157:H7 poisoning in edible lettuce in China in recent years, and no cases of O157:H7 poisoning had been detected in imported products at the border.

At present, it is the season for domestic lettuce production. The head lettuce and vine lettuce suitable for autumn and winter production enter the production period. Is the vine lettuce produced in China safe? Wu Zongxi responded that from May to June this year, the Food and Drug Administration sampled 30 lettuce salad products from the local health bureau to test for Escherichia coli and Escherichia coli. The results all met the requirements and could be consumed with confidence.

Xie Xiangwen, head of the organic farm in the season, said that lettuce planting is not resistant to high temperature,"too much direct sunlight, it is difficult to plant when the climate is hot," the output is concentrated from October to January of the next year, it is difficult to supply the domestic consumption demand throughout the year, the organic vine in the farm is only produced in autumn and winter every year.

They are suitable for both wrapping meat slices and mixing with salads. People who like domestic radish should seize the opportunity to enjoy them.
