| Packaged Salad Important please Read Snopes: true Packaged salad mix I checked the two sites, and it is true. Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 18:55:08 +0000 NBC Dateline did a documentary on cut-up lettuce and spinach packaged in plastic bags. They took us through the whole process and talked about how the Ecoli bacteria is now showing up in the salad mix in bags. They don't know yet how the Ecoli got in, but they do know that deaths and serious sicknesses are occurring in many states. One woman told about how her child was near death from the lettuce and was sick for a long time. They warned us not to buy any bag salads until they find out from the investigation what is causing this contamination. The Dole Company has recalled their bags. See the link below. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12536902/ Please pass this one on...and perhaps save someone's life. This is really pretty scary. http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/salad.asp |

| OMG-I just heard about this the other day. My kids eat so much salad (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even before bed if they can-lol) and I used to buy the bagged kind because I got tired of cutting up the lettuce all the time. (When they do it, there's a mess all over the counter, floor, you name it.) But, I actually stopped using it a while ago, because everytime I would open a bag, it kinda smelled funny. It happened several times, and I would just throw it out. After about the 3rd or 4th time, I gave up, and stopped buying it. More work for me, 50 times a day, but I'm glad I stopped buying it!!!

| I quit buying it because it didn't keep very well. So I guess that is probably why it didn't. |

| yuck.. bag salad is nasty.. bag salad is washed in chlorine then sprayed with chemicals to keep it fresh. bag salad is poison. i refuse to eat it. buy organic and wash it yourself. you get more vitamins. |

| Adding my thanks to the others for posting the info and link! I used to buy the bagged salad because it was quick and easy and with me being really the only one in my house that eats salad, it was "just enough". Won't be buying that anymore!
