Hello: Some of you may have missed the FDA warning about E.Coli present in Bagged Spinach. If you have any at home or the office, toss it out, trash it and don't try to clean it as that won't take care of the bacteria.

There is a multistate outbreak. You should not eat Bagged Spinach until FDA clears the matter. Below link with Advisory.

FDA Warning on Serious Foodborne E.coli O157:H7 Outbreak


WASHINGTON -- An outbreak of E. coli in eight states has killed one person and sickened at least 49 others, federal health officials said Thursday in warning consumers nationwide not to eat bagged fresh spinach.

The death occurred in Wisconsin, where 20 people were made ill, state officials said. The outbreak has sickened others -- eight of them seriously -- in Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah, according to federal health officials.

In California, state health officials were investigating a possible case that could be linked to the outbreak and warned consumers not to eat the produce.

According to CNN.com, On the Fact Box on the left column of the page from the link that is provided - This is an explanation of what is E.Coli. CNN.com - FDA: E. coli linked to Natural Selection Foods - Sep 15, 2006

What is E. coli?

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an emerging cause of foodborne illness. An estimated 73,000 cases of infection and 61 deaths occur in the United States each year.

Infection often leads to bloody diarrhea, and occasionally to kidney failure. Most illness has been associated with eating undercooked, contaminated ground beef.

Person-to-person contact in families and child care centers is also an important mode of transmission.

Infection can also occur after drinking raw milk and after swimming in or drinking sewage-contaminated water.
