would it be the vegie that has the e-coli...or has it been handled by someone with the filthiest hands etc...I mean the garden isnt the cleanest of places either if you thinks of birds pooping, cats digging and dogs spraying, but if you wash it, there isnt a problem....I never buy bagged vegies...i used to but found that in the centre of the bag it was all starting to break down, so now I dont buy that way....If I cant put it in a paperbag myself, i sure as hell dont want anything in a plastic bag.

BerniceC: I think they have to wear gloves like any food handler.We checked some bags at the store and found some that looked like it was rotting.Where we shop all the bagged veggies and salads are being pulled from the shelves.
Here we have strict state health rules and they do check and publish which failed the inspection,stores and restaurants.

A report I heard on the radio stated that the e-coli comes from the manure that the spinach was grown in.
E-coli is apparently an animal by-product, meaning it comes from the intestines of the animal which the manure is used to grow the crops.
Gross!
Where I work we use horse manure all the time but it is steilized at extreme temperatures for many weeks to kill all bacteria.
Perhaps these food companies weren't taking that extra step

It's interesting to me thjat we haven't heard the name of the producer of these bagged spinach products yet.

I am guess it's a big manufacturer and they are being protected so far by the media

BerniceC: I find that lettuce actually keeps fresher in a plastic bag in the fridge if I add a little water to the bag and keep it wet it last longer too. If I don,t use water and just put it in the fridge it will go rotten.
As Foxy said, you are damned if you buy in bags and damned if you don,t.
