Dole Recalls Salad Mix in E. Coli Scare
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A package of Dole salad mix that tested positive for E. coli has triggered a recall in at least nine states, prompting new produce fears almost exactly a year after a nationwide spinach scare.
The tainted bag of Dole's Hearts Delight salad mix was sold at a store in Canada, officials said. Neither Canadian health officials nor Dole Food Co. have received reports of anyone getting sick from the product.
The voluntary recall, issued Monday, affects all packages of Hearts Delight sold in the United States and Canada with a "best if used by" date of September 19, 2007, and a production code of "A24924A" or "A24924B," the company said.
The recall affects packages sold in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces in Canada and in Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee starting around Sept. 8, said Marty Ordman, a Dole spokesman.
Don't know quite who this person is, but perhaps some of you might be interested in attending a Buffy Singalong.
God knows, I'd be up for it were I anywhere nearby!
Uh, because I'm an idiot who has been high on DayQuil, shriftweb.org is currently down. Working on fixing that right now.
And shriftweb.org is back, in case you wanted to hit the BRQG. Whew.
SFistas,
I just got handed 4 free tickets to see Arcade Fire in Mountain View, CA tonight at 6pm. Anyone interested? And, do you have a car? If so, email me ASAP to either my profile addy or my last name (if you can spell it!) at gmail.
I have two tickets to Sweeney Todd at ACT in SF for Tuesday 9/25 that I cannot use. Free to good home. Anyone who wants them e-mail my profile address and we will figure out how to I can get them to you.
Eta: and they're gone. Thanks!
If you missed the latest installment of The Eclectic Word, featuring my interview with David A. Griffith, author of A Good War is Hard to Find, and Wayne Koestenbaum, author of Hotel Theory, go listen to it now. And buy their books. Seriously.
a week or so ago, I posted in Natter about doing a kid's clothing free-for-all swap. I have heard from a handful of people, but in case anyone missed it and has either outgrown clothes to send or has a needs for new clothes, just e-me with sizes you have or need and your address.
There is a new scavenger hunt starting at Scavenger_click.
Come one, come all! Let the fun begin.
