Now I heard the Food and Drug Administration said that the E. coli

outbreak had been linked to bagged spinach products distributed by

Natural Selection Foods, based in San Juan Bautista, California. On

the news they mentioned that they suspect the water used to wash the

spinach was contaminated. How ironic, not to mention disgusting is

that????
