"Earthbound sells more than 70 percent of the country's bagged organic salad and processes about 30 million salad servings each week, according to the company. Its produce can be found in nearly three-quarters of U.S. supermarkets and in all 50 states and Canada."

And people are loyal to brands. Stop the line and change it to the next brand and begin filling again.
Try looking in your fields where your illegal workers are relieving themselves where your products grow. Try looking under their fingernails. Try taking a culture from their hands after they defecate with nowhere to wash.
Homer Simpson could figure out the problem here. It's corporate greed unwilling to pay Americans to do the job, and instead importing ignorami to save money on wages, and refusal to provide proper sanitation and supervision in their production operations.
I was somewhat irked tonight. Every Saturday night I have my Salmon Gorgonzola which has Spinach. Tonight the young lady waiting my table said that the Salmon Gorgonzola was being served without spinach. What's the point of eating Salmon Gongonzola if it doesn't have spinach?? I ordered the tilefish with a creamy shrimp sauce instead. And enjoy a nice glass of pighen with it.
Build a raised bed in your backyard and grow your own - it's so simple and delish -
Well, e.coli is organic, ain't it?
Late night gardening bump...
Good job on keeping these spinach threads coming! Perhaps we need a Free Republic gardening ping list??
Perhaps using some pesticides to kill off the growing bacteria in poo grown spinach would be a start ... .
They think the E. coli this time found its way inside the spinach, so washing it isn't enough.
Huh! Was just noodling around in SJB today.
Had no idea they were based outta there.
That is what happens when you hire "undocumented workers" to pick spinach and they shit all over the product...
Their facility is near Anzar high school and very near the San Andreas faultline. If you go the back way into SJB, you drive by it.
Bingo! I recall another case where Mexican-imported veggies were causing illness, but cannot remember enough about the article to find it on a search.
They might as well just take spinach salad off their menus for now and just wait for customer demand to return.
ha ha...
