Since as my students say, "we're all about" the kitchen, I thought I would use the forum to say that there have been serious e-coli outbreaks associated with bagged spinach since the end of August. At least one person has died, and the outbreak seems to be worsening. Since they are unable to isolate brands, the US Health Department has issued a warning about bagged spinach and recommends that consumers don't eat it.

I was just listening to the news on the way home from work and they've upped it to all spinach, bagged, fresh, etc. Scary!
