Associated Press September 15, 2006 WASHINGTON - Consumers nationwide should not eat fresh bagged spinach, say health officials probing a multistate outbreak of
E. coli that killed at least one person and made dozens of others sick. Food and Drug Administration and state officials don't know the cause of the outbreak, although raw, packaged spinach appears likely. "We're advising people not to eat it," said Dr. David Acheson of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. Eight states were reporting a total of 50 cases of E. coli, Acheson said Thursday. |

September 15, 2006 MEXICO CITY - A strengthening Tropical Storm Lane roared toward the hurricane-battered tip of the Baja California Peninsula early Friday, lashing Mexico's Pacific coast with winds and rain.
The Mexican government issued a hurricane warning for Islas Marias, and a hurricane watch remained in effect along the Pacific coast from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes, said the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. A hurricane warning means hurricane conditions are expected within 24 hours. |
