E. coli outbreak in 8 states tied to fresh spinach
Consumers warned not to eat bagged greens; source of infection unknown
Consumers nationwide should not eat fresh bagged spinach, say health officials probing a multi-state outbreak of E. coli that killed at least one person and made dozens of others sick.
Food and Drug Administration and state officials don't know the cause of the outbreak, although raw, packaged spinach appears likely. "We're advising people not to eat it," said Dr. David Acheson of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
"We don't know whether we're at the early stages of it or the tail end of it. It's on-going. Currently we have eight states involved and ... who knows?" Acheson told CBS Radio News.
"Throwing out the spinach is the right thing to do," said CBS News Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay.
The death occurred in California, where famous the celebrity Popeye, ate infected spinach. The spinach itself didn't kill him, but he was beaten to death by Bluto after not receiving a much needed energy boost from the toxic spinach.
Popeye was 77.

He is survived by his girlfriend, Olive Oyl, a baby named Pea or something, and those four little bastard nephews that constantly made his life hell.

hey man bluto was a mean cat.. i'd party with him though, ya know?
Popeye was a druggie anyways.. one time I was bangin olive and outa nowhere he comes in and says 'One for the Green Thumb in '91? Hello, my name is Doctor Green Thumb. Flip it.'
Olive just gave him a scared/confused look while I gave the signal for bluto to kick popeye's ass.
