Wasn't someone deliberately putting it in wine a couple of years ago? Or was that Methylene Glycol?

We did import some bandages from India some years ago, labelled with the sacred BP, which means 'To British Pharmaceutical Standard.'
The packages also contained dust, and in one case, a leaf!

The Spinach scare is about E.coli 0157:H7, according to Readers Digest. 3 people, including a 2yo in Idaho, died last September, and 102 hospitalisations. River pollution with animal excreta in California blamed. 2 other outbreaks since. Oz got some too.

Spinach, for heavens sake!
