This just in from my wife.....
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.

Doug, you may have heard this?
Yes, I heard of it. Â We were given written "talking points" at work, just in case any customers had concerns. Â I was never asked though and I don't remember specifically what they were. BTW, we don't sell Dole brand bagged lettuce, but we do sell other brands.

I saw something on this awhile back. As I remember it had to do with the cleaning proccess or the lack of. Seemed to me the spot lighted Dole then as well.
