Glad my posting this is appreciated. Our local TV didn't even mention the recall. I heard about it on ABC news but it was nothing more than a blurb.

There are so many posters on this board with compromised immune systems and illnesses that could be adversely affected I wanted to get the word out.

@Marp

I love to put spinach in the nutri bullet with fruit. In fact I only like my spinach raw, not cooked.

My favorite way to have spinach is any way but from a can. I can't resist snacking of fresh, raw spinach but wilted or even cooked down is okay with me.

Thank you!

I love spinach- I always add some to my smoothies or just wilt it with a bit of olive oil and garlic. Or just eat a spinach salad. I usually buy mine from Costco though- always a big tub of organic.

I never buy DOLE-their bagged salads are often wet. Yuk. I always buy organic in this section.

Good to know, and thanks!

It seems I used to hear all the food related recalls on the news, but lately I've missed most of them. I must not have the news on as much lately or something, so I'm glad those here have my back!
