Damnit. We love us some pre-washed spinach -- slightly wilted with bacon and cheese, especially. So this pains us:

Fresh off the heels of e. coli infusions, bags of spinach are now being recalled for another problem. Metz Fresh of King City, CA, found salmonella in one of their bags. According to AP:

The recall covers 10- and 16-ounce bags, as well as 4-pound cartons and cartons that contain four 2.5-pound bags, with the following tracking codes: 12208114, 12208214 and 12208314....[c]onsumers with questions can contact Metz Fresh at 831-386-1018.


We suspect arugula is behind all of this. That spicy bastard. But before you start feverishly burning all of your spinach bags; check the label; go to Whole Foods (or wherever) for the un-pre-packaged, un-pre-washed stuff; etcetera. Read more about it here.
