Is it oK to eat fresh spinach now?

Answer 1

Yes. According to the FDA you have been cleared since the middle of October.

(It has always actually been ok, just not bagged spinach, and specifically Dole.)

However, all the spinach from all companies that could possibly recall fresh bags from contaminated farms are now recalled and destroyed, and any that was cut then would be bad by now.

So as long as the date on the bad is good, it is safe (as far as E. Coli goes) to eat spinach again. I would still wash mine personally.
