WARNING: spinach imported to Canada from US?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Leafy vegetables are the second leading source of E. coli infections in the United States, behind ground beef, but the U.S. government relies primarily on voluntary safety steps by farmers and packagers to prevent outbreaks.

The cleanliness of fresh produce is drawing new attention amid reports that tainted spinach has been found recently in 21 states, killing at least one person and sickening more than 100 others. A second death was under investigation.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has also warned Canadians not to eat bagged fresh spinach imported from the United States. There have been no cases of E. coli reported in Canada so far related to the spinach
