Nobody actually likes the taste of that stuff, do they?My husband LOVES it so I serve it fairly frequently. My daughter is only able to swallow it with a large gulp of milk.

It would be nice to know what company/brand bagged the spinach?! This story is woefully inadequate. And, oh, spinach is actually pretty easy to grow. I do it in flower boxes along with lettuce (so the resident bunnies can't get it).

already posted here with 70+ replies Important enough to post multiple times. Someone died from it. Some folks missed the first one. I did.

And it's when the pickers (from who knows what country) $hit in the fields and don't use TP that people get e.coli and die. Humans aren't supposed to eat $hit.

If you cooked the spinach, you should be fine. Spinach salads are the problem.

Nice to see the FDA taking a break from harrassing physicians and being a kind of fascist influence paving the way for the pharmaceutical industry's artificially heightened profits.

You are correct. I am not able to come here as often as I'd like, so I usually just browse the most recently posted articles.
To: DoughtyOne
About seven years ago, give or take, there was an outbreak related to straweberries. When all was said and done, they found out that the strawberries came from Mexico, and they were using water with human waste in it to irrigate the strawberries. Illegals are angry - the daily double is in the gringo's salad. By now someone has surely come to this sad conclusion. Talk about terrorism !
To: milford421
In other news, President Bush announced a new program to win over terrorists by airdropping them free spinach...

There's not much detail available on this story yet, but I did notice this in
an ABC story:
The five confirmed patients in Oregon were females who ranged in age from 8 to 62, said Dr. Bill Keene, an epidemiologist with the Oregon Department of Human Services. The cases originated between Aug. 25 and Sept. 1, he said, and were linked to the spinach but not to a specific brand. "People have either varying or no recollection of the brand they purchased," Keene said.

I am not a vegetarian, and consider flesh to be the elixer of mankind. But to cook a little box of frozen spinach per the recommendations, let it cool, squeeze out the excess liquid with the hands, and place it as if were a patty between two pieces of whole wheat bread with bit of sea salt and a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil is a bit of heaven.
