greenstormSalinas Valley, mm? I'm reading a Steinbeck book right now, The Winter Of Our Discontent, which is stunning.
NATIONWIDE LETTUCE RECALL
California's Salinas Valley is at the center of a nationwide E-Coli scare. A recent outbreak of E-Coli has been traced to contaminated spinach from the region, and now a popular brand of lettuce has been voluntarily recalled.
Salinas-based Nunes Co. announced Sunday it has recalled some 8,500 cartons of its Foxy brand green leaf lettuce sold in seven states, amid concern the produce might carry E-Coli bacteria. Company officials fear irrigation water used on the lettuce might be contaminated with E. coli. The voluntary lettuce recall comes just days after FBI and FDA agents visited the facilities of two other regional produce companies as part of a criminal investigation into the origins of the recent E-Coli spinach scare. To date, 199 people in 26 states have been sickened from E-Coli contaminated spinach. Three have died. No illnesses have been reported from the recalled lettuce, the company said in a press release. Cartons of the recalled Foxy brand lettuce are labeled are marked with lot number: 6SL0024, and were distributed to grocery stores Oct. 3-6th.
(see below, it's not an actual problem, but gotta love the world anyhow)
