Spinach and spinach products recalled after testing found contamination with Listeria monocytogenes
Solata Foods LLC of Newburgh, NY, is recalling the “Fresh Spinach” below because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The brands listed in the recall include Solata, Gaia, Full Circle, Farmer Direct, Uncle Vinny’s, Bogopa and Bulk.
The contamination was discovered after sampling by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Market Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a 9-ounce package of Bogopa “Fresh Spinach.” Production of the product has been suspended.
The recalled “Fresh Spinach” was distributed locally in stores. The product comes in various sizes listed below with all brand names. All packages have lot numbers #40606 and 11006 on the package and with an expiration date of 06-20-24 and 06-24-24 stamped on the side. The product UPC codes can be found below.
See below for a list of recalled products.
About Listeria infections
Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell putrid, but it can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products and developed symptoms of a Listeria infection should seek medical attention and tell their doctor about possible exposure to Listeria.
Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms in the coming weeks, as it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop.
Symptoms of a Listeria infection may include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headaches, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are needed to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other diseases.
Pregnant women, the elderly, young children and people such as cancer patients with weakened immune systems are at particular risk of serious illness, life-threatening infections, other complications and death. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to preterm labor, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
