Can I eat romaine lettuce?

I made a salad the other day using bagged and pre washed romaine lettuce. My friend said you shouldn’t eat that lettuce while you are pregnant! I didn’t eat it as I was scared but also confused as to why I couldn’t. She said it was because of e coli recall that she had heard.

I looked online saw the info on the recall but I can’t find any other definitive answers or updates that were posted in 2019.

If anyone knows any information on this please could you let me know? I live in the UK and I bought it from Sainsburys.

Many thanks
