Uggggh! that pisses me off. How the hell does salad have ecoli. I am soo stupid too. I trust the what the spinich bag tells me when it says "Already washed, just eat".

God am I so stupid.

NJchick,

Do you wash your salad,even though it says "washed" already? I feel sick now. Oh no!

I lived in washington when the ecoli breakout happened at Jack in the Box. It was so sad to see all those people sick on the news, and to hear about that little girl dying. Ecoli scares me because of seeing that, and they said that Dole has recalled Classic Romaine. But they did not say which number run, or what dates they recalled. I have two bags of it sitting in my fridge right now.

I dont like bagged salad its got a funny taste so I always wash it.. But I buy the romaine hearts...LOL, so I will never eat suspected old lettuce again!!!!

I wonder if the bacteria are from pickers? I've heard that sometimes sanitation leaves a lot to be desired in the fields. It's scary...wasn't there an outbreak from strawberries a year or two ago? Makes me not want to eat any produce I didn't grow myself!!

The first thing I though of was they dropped the lettuce on the manuer and didn't wash it well enuf, I mean it can't take much I'm sure. EEWWW

I think that now that I eat less I will shop at Whole Foods Market where they have organic food. I doubt that even that is completely safe though. Very scary stuff.

If you think about the care and concern most people (don't) show in all other aspects of their lives and work, it makes sense to believe that we should go ahead and wash our produce even if it says it has been washed already, huh? It's sad but true. Better to go through the extra effort and be safer!

Here, here!

I always thought the preservatives or whatever the heck is in that bag smelled and tasted funny. I'm SO glad that I bought a salad spinner and wash it twice to get that smell and taste off before I eat it.

Thankfully though, I don't eat a lot of salad anymore. If I eat a salad, it's because I really WANT one not because I feel I have to eat it to save calories and fill me up.
