ok, so the fda has endorsed the mass discarding of bag spinach due to an outbreak of a potentially lethal e coli strain......i saw this online this morning, heard it on the news, and had it announced at a diabetes meeting i attended this morning......only to have my daughter's birth mother call my spouse frantically this morning to assure her that we had thrown out all of our spinach........as if we would have missed tuning into some sort of news outlet on this day only......but i digress from the point i set out to make......that the fda made this broad pronouncement-discard all bagged spinach- over a single death....if the fda was really concerned about preventing death, it would have stores discard cigarettes, in that 1 american dies every 82 seconds from tobacco related diseases......big difference........

ok, so...the spinach came from natural selection foods......Natural Selection Foods said in a statement that it was cooperating with federal and state health officials to identify the source of the contamination and had stopped shipping all fresh spinach products.
They are sold under the brand names Rave Spinach, Natural Selection Foods, Dole, Earthbound Farm, Trader Joe's, Ready Pac and Green Harvest.
