If you feel that it is safe to make a nice summer spinach salad, you'd be wrong. I'm sure you will recall, that it was just last summer that spinach was recalled due to an E. coli scare. This year the spinach is being recalled once again only this time it is due to Salmonella contamination. This Salmonella contamination affects as many as 34 tons of spinach. So you may want to opt for some romaine while it is still supposedly safe.
