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.

also the cut green beans

[suzyqvoodoo.livejournal.com]

also applies to the cut vegetables in bags... like the green beans that are pre-trimmed & washed...
I used to use those all the time, until I ready about people getting sick

And they have to preserve the vegetables once cut, which is another unnecessary thing..

Seems like the convenience is not worth it.

Just goes to show that the easy road is not necessarily the right road!

Yes, absolutely!

Of course, it also reminds me to be very, very careful washing the veggies coming in from my own garden!
I mean, you really can't be too careful with stuff liek that, can you?
