Sno Pac Foods, a Minnesota-based company, is recalling two types of organic frozen spinach due to potential listeria contamination, which can lead to serious illness.
The recalled products were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through distributors, the Food and Drug Administration said in an announcement published Tuesday. Here are the affected products:
So far, no illnesses have been reported, but the FDA warns listeria can cause serious or fatal infections in young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, the FDA added.
“The production of the product has been suspended while the company continues to investigate the source of the problem,” the FDA said, adding anyone with these products should dispose of them or return them for refund.
