Fresh Express announces the recall of spinach due to Listeria monocytogenes

The FDA reported that Fresh Express has issued a voluntary recall of a Fresh Express Spinach, 8 oz. size, with product code G332 and use-by date of December 15, and Publix Spinach, 9 oz size, with product code G332 and a now expired use-by date of December 14 due to a potential health risk from Listeria monocytogenes. The two recalled spinach items were distributed to retailers in seven states: AL, FL, GA, NC, SC, TN, and VA. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall. The recall was initiated after routine sampling conducted by the Florida Department of Agriculture yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a single randomly selected package of spinach. Fresh Express immediately notified affected retailers and instructed them to remove the recalled items from store shelves and all inventories.@ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/fresh-express-announces-recall-limited-spinach-products-due-possible-health-risk
