    There was an E. coli death in our province this week. It was tracked back to a private abbatoir.

    While definitely a kick butt band name, the term private abattoir does not conjure up good images for me.

    Ugh. Never thought about mixed greens. Surely stuff in the stores now would already have been pulled if it was from that area. But then again, I will be checking tonight lol.

    E coli can pop up anywhere and on anything tho,I was watching Forensic files the other night and there was a case of it making kids sick from Odwalla apple juice,the Jack in the box hamburger outbreak back in the day,more recently cilantro and try getting sprouts at restaurants anymore,can't really be on guard with everything all the time

    While true, if there's a known outbreak I'm going to be cautious. I've never had e coli before, but I've had salmonella and that *kitten* isn't fun.
