If you live in one of the 39 states listed below, you may want to check your spinach.

Taylor Farms Retail Inc. announced in an online statement that it was voluntarily recalling some Organic Baby Spinach products due to possible contamination with Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), a bacteria that can cause severe infection leading to abdominal cramps, vomiting and (sometimes hemorrhagic) diarrhea.

EHEC can also lead to a sometimes fatal disease known as Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, which causes kidney failure and nervous system problems, especially in children and the elderly.

The recalled spinach is being sold in the following 39 states across the country: Wyoming, Wisconsin, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, North Carolina, Montana, Mississippi, Minnesota, Missouri, Maryland, Louisiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Idaho, Iowa, Hawaii, Georgia, Florida, Delaware, Colorado, California, Arizona, Arkansas, Alabama, Alaska, Washington and Oregon.

The spinach that is being recalled is being sold in 5-oz and 16-oz trays under the following names: Central Market Organics, Full Circle Organics, Marketside Organics, Simple Truth Organics and Taylor Farms Organic. All the recalled spinach has a "best by" date of February 24, 2013, Taylor Farms said.

I love spinach. I just bought a batch and was wondering why I've been ill. Thought I might have used too much olive oil in my home made dressing. But I'm in Toronto, so not sure if I could have been affected by this recall.

A good excuse to slam some new regulations against the organic industry. Probably a FF event. My opinion.

Well, we can certainly expect to see our spinach irradiated or worse. The goal is to have a completely dead food supply. We're almost there. Many already eat a diet of depleted foods. The living essence is gone. Look around you at all the sick and dying, fat and crying.

It's so funny at work. People mock me for eating "rabbit food" for lunch, while they gorge themselves on fried crap and donuts. They won't worry much about the spinach, as they've eaten none their whole lives.

This is another good reason to grow your own greens. With a simple cold frame, you can grow them well into the winter, even in the colder climates. For my milder climate, it's year round.

If you've never looked at the interesting variety of greens you can grow from seed, you might be surprised. Something for virtually every palate and preference. (well, maybe not for Conk's work colleagues ... )
