Organic spinach sold exclusively at Target stores because of possible Listeria contamination.
Simply Balanced Organic Chopped Spinach 10-oz steam in bag is being recalled by California based Superior foods.
The company says it may have received organic spinach with the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
No illnesses have been reported. Consumers are urged to dispose of it or return it to the store for a refund.
