WASHINGTON — A California produce company recalled bagged fresh spinach Wednesday after it tested positive for salmonella.
There were no immediate reports of illness linked to the tainted spinach, distributed by Metz Fresh LLC of King City, Calif. The recall comes nearly a year after an outbreak of another pathogen, E. coli, in fresh spinach killed three people and sickened another 200.
The recalled spinach was distributed throughout the 48 states and Canada and sold in both retail and food service packages. It covers 8,118 cases of spinach, although the company said more than 90 percent of that was on hold and would not be released.
While only a single sample from one of three packing lines tested positive for salmonella, the company said it moved to recall all the spinach packed that same day as a precaution.
The recall covers 10- and 16-ounce bags, as well as 4-pound cartons and cartons that contain four 2.5-pound bags, with the following tracking codes: 12208114, 12208214 and 12208314.

Let’s see, now.
The workers were carrying with them one source that was approximately 3 feet from the spinach, but that is somehow less likely to you than a source over a mile away ?
Or did you not read post 27 by Countess ?
>>Here we go again!!<<
Did you mean literally? (Oh. I guess you meant figuratively....) LOL!
(don't be such a wiseacre....BG is pahlenty! : )
j/k
The specific strain of the E coli bacteria 0157:H7 isolated in the outbreak was linked to the Paicines Ranch, in the river water, cattle manure and wild pig manure samples taken from the ranch.
I don't understand the science of it but, apparently, all E coli 0157:H7 bacteria are not identical & the investigators have methods to further isolate & identify substrains.
Good grief. Lots of conclusion jumping going on.
At least you’re getting your exercise.
I’ll have to give it a try! Usually, I’ll have one of those Hilshire Farms beef summer sausages around. Cut off a half dozen slices to put in with a green salad or a couple ounces cut up or chopped added into something I’m sauteeing.
Now I’m hungry...
Disgusting.
sickening....both figuratively and literally!
lol, got me thinking about a snack too!!!
Great,..I just fried a bag in olive oil, garlic and oregano this afternoon.
Only we peons will be affected, our "leaders" live behind gates...

No I haven’t, but I shall...not surprised the elitists and corporate greedholders want to have an Animal Farm set up.
Nic and janet - you’re so right :(
It’s very sad that we must be right about such a matter.
