Bagged Salad Warning...

Dragonfliz79 Jul 17, 2006 11:25 AM

Not Sure if some of you use the bagged Salads to feed your Beardies but I recently read this.
Is the convenience worth the risk? Beware the "Bag Salad"!

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.

Please pass this one on...This is really pretty scary.

I wonder if they washed the salad before serving? But thanks for the heads up. Not that I ever used the dole salads, not enough good greens in them to make it worth the cost. Besides, I find they spoil fast compared to fresh greens bought individually.
