I miss eating salad, do you? E. coli bacteria...?

Question

those were the good old days...when we could eat salad.

Answer 1

Yeah, I'm kind of worried... I ate a bunch of salad over the past few days, and then I got diagnosed with "stomach flu." I hope that's what it really is!

Answer 2

I eat salad every day. I live in the Great Lakes area so the E. Coli bacteria lettuce does not affect us only 7 of the western states.

Answer 3

You just have to buy fresh and wash it well. My girlfriend and I eat a mixed homemade garden salad almost every day. We got a little lazy a few years ago when the "triple-washed" bagged spinach and lettuces hit the market, and for sheer convenience we stopped buying fresh. But now we've returned to our former ways. We buy fresh, we rinse it well and use a salad spinner. It's a little more work, but it's worth it. And it tastes better than the bagged stuff.

Answer 4

I don't because I buy everything fresh, wash it very,very good.And chop it up and bag it myself.Enough for 4 or 5 days. I never buy the bagged stuff. So, I still eat salad on a daily basis.

Answer 5

You can eat other leafy greens like iceberg lettuce, romaine etc. But you can't eat spinach. So you can still have your salads. And the feds have narrowed down the contamination to two farms/producers. When inspections for the other farms are cleared we will have spinach again.

Answer 6

Yeah the good ole days indeed. When people could see how hyped up and sensationalized everything is to make it seem really important.

The odds of you eating e.coli infected spinach is almost nil.

All the of the spinach that would have been harvested has been laid to rot to make sure that generation is dead.

Mad cow still exists, been eating beef lately?

Answer 7

It is so easy now, I throw away the salad and lick the hands of the guy in the kitchen so, no worries

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

Yeah...
I need more veggies for breastfeeding but now...i'm afraid of E Coli...Maybe I have to buy can veggies now.
