Romaine lettuce is not safe to eat in any form, according to the CDC.
If you have any type of romaine lettuce in your home, throw it away and wash drawers and shelves where the lettuce was stored. Be sure to check if bagged/boxed salad mixes contain romaine. If you are unsure if a lettuce is romaine, throw it away.
Investigators are currently studying a new outbreak of illnesses caused by E. coli bacteria. They aren't sure where, when, or how the contamination happened yet, so, to be on the safe side, they are advising that all romaine lettuce be thrown out.
