Just an FYI --
This didn't affect all packaged salads (spinach comes from different fields than say, Iceberg or Romaine, etc.). This only was products just ones that have spinach in them, or packaged spinach itself. Some companies are reformulating their products that used to have Spinach in them (ie: Spring Mix) to not include spinach at all. Also, not all spinach brands were implicated, but for safety measures the FDA had informed consumers to stay away from all spinach. Spinach will be back at the grocery stores shortly.
Don't stop buying packaged salads. They are fresh, easy, and convenient! I certainly won't stop buying them.
