Okay, to be fair, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has told people to throw out bagged fresh spinach imported from the United States because some of it is tainted with E.coli.

Washing the leaves will not get rid of the bacteria, which lives in animal intestines and sticks to the leaves.

Natural Selection Foods, which produces bagged spinach, claims that its organic spinach was not contaminated, while infected patients have been traced to codes from nonorganic spinach.

At least 109 people in 19 states have become ill as a result of eating contaminated spinach, and a 77-year-old Wisconsin woman died. No cases have been reported in Canada.
