This is quite an interesting recall as I doubt that there many if any companies in the UK testing salads for E.coli O157:H7

Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Organic Spinach & Spring Mix, 11oz – UPC: 77890-16411 – ONLY product sold between 10/14/12 and 11/1/12.

Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Organic Spinach & Spring Mix, 5oz – UPC: 77890-16437 – ONLY product sold between 10/14/12 and 11/1/12.

Reason for Recall: State Garden is recalling two sizes of this product because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7.

Thus far no illnesses have been reported.

    Testing is not a control. Better to spend money on effective controls, i.e. establishing HACCP-based Good Agricultural Practice, Good Hygienic/Manufacturing Practice, with concomitant monitoring of Critical Points.
