Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - California-based Natural Selection Foods LLC/Earthbound Farm is voluntarily recalling spinach and all foods that contain spinach after its products were linked to a deadly and worsening e.coli outbreak, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday. The FDA said one person died, 14 suffered kidney failure and at least 94 were ill after eating suspected contaminated fresh pre-packaged spinach in 20 states, nearly twice as many as reported earlier Friday. It said the recall could be extended to other companies. Dr. David Acheson, the agency's chief officer for food safety, warned consumers to avoid fresh spinach in stores and restaurants. " The best advice to consumers is, 'If you don't know if it's pre-packaged or not, avoid it. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
