BrightFarms Recalls Spinach and Salad Kits in Seven States Over Listeria Risk

No illnesses reported yet, company temporarily suspends distribution of affected products.

BrightFarms has issued a voluntary recall of spinach and salad kits sold in seven states due to a potential listeria risk.
The recall is for spinach grown by BrightFarms' supplier Element Farms in a Pompton Plains, New Jersey farm, after a routine sampling found a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes.
BrightFarms is also issuing a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of four salad kits due to potential cross-contamination from its Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania facility.
No illnesses have been reported to date, according to the FDA's recall notice, and BrightFarms has temporarily suspended distribution of Element Farms grown spinach.
Retailers have been asked to remove all the recalled products from stores shelves. Any customers who purchased the affected products should not consume them, the FDA says, and discard them or present a photo of the product or receipt to where they were purchased for a full refund.
