...Anemia begone! Spinach is back in dining halls, and students need not worry about that pesky E.coli O157:H7 every time they reach for their favorite leafy green. After identifying and containing the disease-bearing spinach implicated in the outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have signed off on spinach dated October 1 or later.
