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.

Remember when I bartended at the Hilton?

If you saw what I saw, on a daily and consistient basis, you'd never eat at another restuarant again...

I'm sure that's true! There are times when ignorance is bliss...so long as it doesn't kill you.

I've done Living Statues at some places to which I never, ever returned after seeing the kitchens or behind the banquet rooms...

Luckily...I've built up a tolerance for such stuff. It's like getting a vaccine :)

I'll never forget during the Christmas banquet season, there'd be tables lined up in the hallways with desserts on them (usually cheesecake).

Totally uncovered.

This was in the hallways we used to walk to the bathroom, clock in, go to the breakroom, etc. In winter, so...people had colds, coughing / sneezing...muddy boots from being out in the elements...you get the idea.

The tables...totally uncovered. UGH! And it wasn't uncommon for banquet tables to be set the night before, so the silverware would have dust, etc on it.

Have I grossed you out yet? :)

No, I have an amazingly high gross-out factor.
