I wonder if this includes frozen spinach. I just ate some HyVee frozen spinach the other day...

I hope criminal charges will be laid against store-owners who have debagged and sold contaminated spinach. God damn it - the FDA sent out all of those "Don't buy bagged spinach" warnings for a REASON.

I hope so too. There is absolutely no excuse.

I hope FDA finds out where the source is and how it got into the bagged spinach and to the grocery store.
I'll be interested in how all this plays out and if conventional practices will be lessened and organic practices increased.

Yeah, I agree. I hope those standards aren't lessened. I hope it is not the case.
