No less than the FDA is saying... don't even cook it. This is apparently
the really bad bacteria that some years back was in undercooked
hamburger.
I think they are going on a "Better safe than sorry" plan...

Of course they are...."better safe, etc." The thing is...e-coli is all around us, all the time! They're just doing "spin control."

You're right, of course. I'm just glad I haven't gotten any recently
and now won't for a while!!
Something like 80% of the nation's spinach comes from the Salinas
Valley here in California... not good for the growers.
:(

I had a big bag of NEWMAN'S OWN and just cooked it! With mushrooms and garlic and cheese. LOVELY!
(If I die tomorrow, you'll know why!) :wah:

I love spinach and silverbeet. Surely cooking gets rid of E Coli bugs????

Latest I heard is maybe not... the thinking is this e. coli might have
come in through a contaminated water source and been drawn in to
the leaves... so pretty firmly embedded. It's not something that was
on the surface. So I don't know. I guess we watch for Lulu posts for
a few days...

Includes a listing of the recalled brands: (Not that it matters really,
I expect it's ALL gone...)

FYI the canned is heated and thoroughly processed and likely done
at least a couple months ago... so eat that if you want!!

True...I suspect e coli wouldn't be able to survive in vegemite!

Amazing how they can do that, isn't it? Out of all the farms growing spinach--they can find this one! I'm impressed!
I also made a lovely Italian sausage/spinach/garlic/onion/tomato soup yesterday and enjoyed it immensely!
No vampires around me--no werewolves, either!

Willie Nelson got caught with some weed (maryjuana) on his bus. He told the media "I'm glad it was weed and not spinach, I'd be dead by now".
