It is safe.These bacterias that we get so paranoid about after an uncontrolled outbreak are everywhere.You consume them every day.It is just in much smaller concentrations so that a normally functioning human has no ill effect.So YES,they are safe.Buy lettuce AND spinach,toss them with your favorite dressing and enjoy your life.

Lettuce has always been fine to eat. It was spinach and mushrooms that had the e coli scare. Personally I'm going to be staying away from spinach from california, other then that I think it's fine to eat, I'm in the food industry and havent heard about any more outbreaks.

Sure it´s safe, if you are worried about bacteria just let both lettuce and spinach rest with vinegar (from grape or apple) after few minutes ( i think 15 is enough) just wash it with water (only) and do watever you want...

if you buy fresh lettuce or spinach. It was the bagged lettuce or spinach. If you ever looked the bag had droplets of water. that carried the bacteria and then as the lettuce or spinach got older it grew bacteria
