It’s poop: E. coli found on Taylor Farms organic spinach; recall launched

Posted on by

When did press release writing drones come up with the phrase, “out of an abundance of caution?” It seems to be appearing in every recall release.

How about, “in the course of doing our job to provide safe food, we found dangerous E. coli on our raw spinach and decided it would be a good idea to warn
org_traysal_bbyspnpeople.”

But I don’t get paid the big bucks.

Taylor Farms Retail, Inc. is initiating a voluntary recall of select Organic Baby Spinach products with the potential to be contaminated with (EHEC) Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli.

(That’s the nasty kind)

The company is cooperating with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and California Department of Public Health (CDPH) regarding this recall. There have been no reported illnesses attributed to the recalled items.

How was this positive picked up, through internal or random testing? What is the strain of E. coli? Where did it come from?

And who knew what when?
