quote: WASHINGTON Sep 14, 2006 (AP)— An outbreak of E. coli in eight states has left at least one person dead and 50 others sick, federal health officials said Thursday in warning consumers not to eat bagged fresh spinach.
The outbreak of the sometimes deadly bug killed one person in Wisconsin, said Dr. David Acheson, of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. The outbreak has sickened people eight of them seriously in Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah as well.
FDA officials do not know the source of the outbreak, other than it appears to be linked to bagged spinach. "We're advising people not to eat it," Acheson said.

Hubby's a chef..and one of the wait staff at his restaurant has two family members in the hospital with E-coli infection.

Didn't hear anything about salad yet.
