Spinach Recalled For E. Coli

It was recently announced that spinach grown under Taylor Farms Retail, Inc. has been found to be contaminated by E.coli. A number of labels selling this spinach are being notified to pull all of their spinach products off of retail shelves. Some of these labels are: Central Market, Full Circle, Market Side, Simple Truth and Taylor Farms.  These labels are sold nationwide. E.coli is a dangerous bacteria that can cause kidney failure and in extreme cases even death.

This same situation has happened many times in the past. I think that they should have a better inspection process when checking spinach, or other food to make sure E. coli doesn't make it into our grocery stores. I won't be eating any spinach for a while. I hope people don't get sick with this recent outbreak of E. coli, because it is very dangerous.
