BERIGAN Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Thursday, September 14, 2006 ยท Last updated 4:38 p.m. PT E. coli outbreak brings spinach warning By ANDREW BRIDGES ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON -- An outbreak of E. coli in eight states has left at least one person dead and 50 others sick, federal health officials said Thursday in warning consumers not to eat bagged fresh spinach. The outbreak of the sometimes deadly bug killed one person in Wisconsin, said Dr. David Acheson, of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. The outbreak has sickened people - eight of them seriously - in Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah as well. FDA officials do not know the source of the outbreak, other than it appears to be linked to bagged spinach. "We're advising people not to eat it," Acheson said. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/115...ed_Spinach.html Quote

GA Russell Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 I was surprised to read in her obituary not too long ago that the lady who was the voice of Olive Oyl was also the voice of Betty Boop! Quote
