Um, eek!

Do you eat salad out of a bag?


This was sent to be via Judy; I checked this out on Snopes and it is true.

NBC Dateline did a documentary on cut-up lettuce and spinach packaged in plastic
bags. They showed whole process and talked about how the Ecoli bacteria is now showing
up in the salad mix in bags. They don't know yet how the Ecoli got in, but
they do know that deaths and serious sicknesses are occurring in many
states.

One woman told about how her child was near death from the lettuce and
was sick for a long time. They warned us not to buy any bag salads until
they find out from the investigation what is causing this contamination.

The Dole Company has recalled their bags. See the link below.

You all might want to note that this warning dates back to a problem which occurred in October of 2005, and MSNBC didn't catch up with that problem until April of 2006 when it bothered to do the report.

Yeah, I'd noticed that, too...
