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.

How many brands of packaged spinach are there? Where is it packaged and who worked at the food processing plants? Certainly someone should know where this came from. This has been going on for at least a month month thank to our enept government.

Thanks for that info snow. The very disturbing part of this story is the fact that no one brand has been cited, and the cases are spread throughout the country...so disturbing to see the FDA this concerned where they have alerted consumers to chuck fresh spinach regardless of brand.
