Spinach salad recall over possible listeria: Fresh Express sold in Alabama, including at Publix
Bagged spinach salad sold in Alabama and four other states has been recalled over concerns it could be tainted with listeria.
Fresh Express has issued the voluntary recall over Fresh Express Spinach, 8-ounce size, with product code G332 and a use-by date of Dec. 15 and Publix Spinach, 9-ounce size with product code G332 and use-by-date of Dec. 14. You can go here to see detailed product codes.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the salads could be tainted with listeria, a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people or others with weakened immune systems. Listeria infections can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Symptoms of listeria infections include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall and no other Fresh Express products are being recalled.
People with recalled products in their refrigerators should throw them away. To obtain a refund or for more information, call the Fresh Express Consumer Response Center at 800- 242-5472. Refunds are also available where purchased.
