    Yes, it's as safe as any other packaged vegetables. The source of this summer's e coli outbreak was identified, and the affected fields were eliminated from production.

    Still, it's a good idea to always wash your fruits and vegetables even when they say "triple rinsed". This wouldn't have stopped the outbreak from the tainted spinach, but it's a good practise to follow in general.

    Yes, it is safe to eat. Just be sure you wash it well, even if it comes already bagged.

    If they are selling it again, then I am pretty sure it is safe to eat.
