Heads up: Sainsbury's recalls watercress (E.coli!)

For you UK peeps:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-24073022

Sainsbury's is recalling all of its bagged watercress as well as salads containing watercress in response to an outbreak of E. coli.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has reported an outbreak of E. coli that has made 15 people ill.

Sainsbury's said the FSA had told it that watercress brought from its stores was "one of their lines of inquiry".

It said the recall was precautionary and that recalled products could be returned to stores for a full refund.

    Thanks for that. Wondered why there was no watercress or their rocket, spinach and watercress salad this morning. Nothing in store about it but you've just saved me a trip back on Saturday.
