I read an article once about the way they prepare that bagged lettuce and stopped buying it a few months ago :( Isn't anything ok anymore?!

I also threw away my bagged spinach at home away. I wonder how long before we should buy fresh spinach in bags again?

No, it was about how they process the lettuce. It was talking about how they wash it in bleach or something and then spray something else gross on it to preserve it longer in the bags. My aunt cut it out of a magazine so I can't even say which one it was.
