I bought a vacuum sealed package of lettuce cuts to make for my sandwiches and nothings that on the edges and on some of the "veins" I guess you could say of the green romaine lettuce is turning a reddish color. Is this normal, or should I throw out the lettuce? How do I know when the lettuce has gone bad?

This is normal. It's usually from the lettuce being cut with metal. I eat it like this all the time. You'll know it's bad when it wilts and turns watery. You're perfectly fine and safe to eat it this way.

Yes, it's getting old. That is called "rust" and is not bad for you, just a signal it's getting old.

lettuce is bad when it smells different and it has a slimy texture.

It has began to rot. You might be able to eat it but I wouldn't take the chance. Sorry, take it back to the store.
