e-coli is possible in just about anything that receives its water from a contaminated source. Makes no difference if organic or commercial grade, if the water coming into the fields is contaminated with animal excrement, the spinach has a chance of having e-coli. Spinach is a vegetable that sucks nutrients out of the soil fast. Spinach is used in cleaning up soil that is permeated with lead. Spinach will suck the lead right out of the soil and then can be disposed of in a proper facility for lead contamination. The beauty of spinach. Great pollution reducer but as we recently saw, it has its drawbacks.

i always cook fresh spinach so i don't care. just drop it in hot boiling water until it wilts and all the e-coli is dead too.

e.coli is a product of human poop, not of spinich. to never eat spinach again is not to be safe from e.coli. your immune system is better than you think. we eat tiny amounts of poop all day.
