E. Coli in Bagged Spinach

[Dogmama]

While we wish it was only happening with spinach, what I now hear is that the water in the Salinas valley area is tainted. Wonder what the implications are for that little bit of news might be? It seems the growers in that region have been cited multiple times in the past few years for having contaminted crops (not just spinach).

My recollection is that Salinas Valley is quite a large area for growing a lot of crops - am I correct?
