DO NOT EAT THE SPINACH

WASHINGTON (AP) - Consumers nationwide should not eat fresh bagged spinach, say health officials probing a multistate outbreak of E. coli that killed at least one person and made dozens of others sick. Food and Drug Administration and state officials don't know the cause of the outbreak, although raw, packaged spinach appears likely. "We're advising people not to eat it," said Dr. David Acheson of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition SANDYD

Not so fast... You CAN eat it, you just need to WA**** really well first.

On Fox News just a few minute ago they said ,"THROW IT AWAY". Sandyd

Welllll, this morning on GMA, the resident MD said to wa**** really well first. Soooo, I guess its a matter of opinion. I don't have any in the refrigerator right now, so it is irrelevent for me. Cindee

This morning they were saying that here too but now they are saying to throw it out. I is making people in their twenties very sick so it may be a different strain. Hugs, Sandyd

It's should be throwed out. Washing it won't get rid of the E. Coli, it is embedded in the leaves. THis is the most deadly form of E. Coli and comes from cow manure. They think it may have been from contaminated irrigated water system. This E. coli can shut your kidney's down and damage them. Please don't eat. Zadie
