There's a pretty nasty e. coli outbreak going on in Michigan and Illinois -- apparently "industrial" sized bags of lettuce from a Michigan company called "Aunt Mids" have been contaminated. Among those affected were students at Michigan State and the University of Michigan and some inmates at Lenawee County Jail.

So the only people affected are people in cultural jail and actual jail? Hmm, I don't see the problem here >_>
The best part is that the feed those "we're the Harvard of the Midwest" punks the same thing they feed prisoners.
University and jail? I bet Sodexho's involved somehow.
HA! I guess they won't be tossing anybodies salad for a while....chuckle ;)
Oh good...I live in Lenawee County...pretty close to the jail actually.
@Clold: Oh sweet Jesus I thought I was the only one who knew the evils of Sodexho! I worked as an admin assistant at the UNLV student union dining area and they were shit about keeping food safe - we had garbage guys IN THEIR GARBAGE GLOVES handling food. My boss would just grab it and put it back. And then there was the rat problem, and the faking-the-health-inspection-by-moving-the-same-four-thermometers-from-kitchen-to-kitchen incident...

Now how did fecal bacteria get into this latest batch of vegetables? Yet again I hear crickets from the media and health authorities.
@bovinekid: hahahaha. people really need to learn that if your school isn't an ivy, IT'S NOT AN IVY. i hate this "xyz of the [region]" crap. you're not xyz, get over it.
@Clold: Sodexho took over the food at Southeast Missouri State Univ as I was leaving, and the food quality took a sharp downward plunge. And frankly, it was pretty damn crappy to begin with...
Glad I skipped the salad bar at lunch today. Yikes.
