I just looked up Metz Fresh, that label the spinach is processed by, and it says nothing about how the spinach is grown organically, so I am assuming it is grown conventionally.

thank the lord!

I bought two giant containers of spinach on saturday. They are 1 pound but they huge for one person. It's the only lettuce type I want to eat.

Weird, considering i've always hated spinach growing up. But that was from a can. :p

I think it may happen more with spinach or lettuce than other produce, because they grow closer to the ground, and if there is manure or something that has not composted correctly, the spinach would more easily be contaminated.

Something like Kale or collards grow up from the ground with stems, so that might be why they are less prone.

I really love spinach and I use it in my fresh juices and I love it in my salads. I am really afraid to eat any spinach now.:(

What if you bought pre-packaged spinich and washed it and spin dried it in a salad spinner? I mean would it still be bad? I soak/rinse my lettuce and spin it dry so why not my spinich. Is there a salad wash that anyone could let me know about? I have just been using plain water.
