so, are you avoiding spinach?

[freshbreath]

I wonder if there could be some contamination up here

 

[Jade4u]

I am actually growing my own spinach on my balcony so it does not come in contact with cattle etc... so I do intend to eat it. Unless they tell me it is spread by the rain. hmmmmmmm

Popeye's very upset about this!!

Yes there is, a friend of mine ate the affected spinach the night before they issued the 'recall'. Fortunately it only made her very uncomfortable for a few hours later that night. She was ok yesterday though.

It's a ploy to stop Popeye, I bet Brutus/Bluto is behind this spinach caper.

I'm eating the frozen variety. All ready cooked.

George W. Bush Jr. is to blame for the Spinach scare. Probably 75% of those claiming to be sick never exist. Only the ones up in Wisconsin is true and they probably got from something else. Now the source is pegged in Cal-LEE-fornia. Anti-Arnold scare by Bush Jr.

Everything is Bush Jr.'s fault. He did it.

CTV news report............

Although initially it appears it is about Wendy's, it is actually about the spinach as well.

Something that surprised me. The ecoli was taken up by the plants roots and continues to grow inside the leaf. No amount of cleaning of the leaves will help. Considering that spinach takes very little heat to cook, I doubt that would help either. Damn shame, as I like to use it in omlettes, manicotti, enchiladas, pitas, salads, sandwiches...I could go on and on.

spinacci

i had a big salad last night that was about 1/2 spinach leaves and then found out today about the warning !

Called Dole, the manufacturer, and they said nobody in Canada has yet to claim any reactions from E.coli after consuming the spinach.

i have no symptoms (so far) so after a day or two, i won't worry about it, but i'll certainly be checking for blood in my stool and/or diarrhea over the next 24-36 hours.

I am looking at my spinach outside and smiling.

I don't think diarrhea is something you have to check for
I think you'll know pretty much right away.

Popeye's very upset about this

This should have no negative effect on Popeye and his torrid sex life with Olive Oil. Popeye always ate his spinach out of a can. This crisis only involves fresh spinach and pre-packaged or bagged spinach.

The one report..and it's only one...did say even boiling the suspect spinach did not kill the ecoli.

Best to check with the local health folks before eating any bagged spinach from the US right now. The company that was the subject of the recall did pull the product but who knows what it's gotten into since.

For a short term it might be best to avoid anything with spinach in it prepared after Sept 1st.
