We get lettuce from the US, so when there is a problem with a product in
the US we have a problem too.

Having driven through the areas where a lot of American fruits and
vegetables are grown I can understand how the get problems like this.
The fields are huge. The farmers have trailers with rows of portable
toilets and they park them at one end of the fields. The pickers are
likely paid piece work, so there is no money made while they walk a half
mile to use the toilet, and if they are infected with e coli they aren't
going to have enough warning to get to the portapotty... so they squat
and crap in the field.
