Just a little FYI, they've found e.coli in bagged lettuce too now. So, if you bought any lettuce this week, I'd throw it out to make sure it isn't being recalled.
No lettuce, no spinach. now what? :P

Re: e.coli in lettuce now? Bah!
Oh no. It's bagged lettuce now? They showed a head of iceberg on our news, so I didn't want to watch until we ate dinner tonight from the head we have been eating off of for a couple of days. I'm ready to give spinach a try again though. What next?
I better not ask. LOL

Actually, a meat packing company in, either Idaho or Iowa (I think) is recalling ground beef because of E. Coli.Comment

It was from cow manure from cows next to the fields the spinach was in, and I assume the lettuce too since it was the same area. So, bagging is okay as far as I know!Female

Re: e.coli in lettuce now? Bah!
Two people in Toronto are in hospital due to botulism poisoning from tainted carrot juice. They did a follow-up story on the news and some of the tainted products are still on the shelves! So those who don't watch the news may be in trouble.
I don't drink it, but still.....it's a conspiracy! Apparently, the only thing that won't kill you immediately is Twinkies!!Female, 46yrs, 5'3"

That carrot juice thing was very scary! Especially since the stores didn't pull it..and apparently they were all told.
Just goes to show you that 'organic' isn't always better. The carrot juice in question here was organicJen, 39, F
