Whole Foods baby spinach recall: What parents need to know
Whole Foods
Salads, pizza, sandwiches, wraps + the salad and hot bars are impacted in 8 states.
There’s another big food recall for parents to be aware of, but don’t worry, no one is sick it is just a precaution.
Whole Foods is recalling several prepared items containing baby spinach because of potential Salmonella contamination.
This includes salads, pizza, sandwiches and wraps sold at stores in Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
According to the CDC, Salmonella causes about 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths in the United States yearly. Most people recover without treatment from an episode of diarrhea, fever and cramps that lasts about a week, but some people do need to be hospitalized and of course, small children are among those most at risk, with kids under five having higher rates of Salmonella infection than any other age group.
In addition to the prepared meals, the baby spinach from the salad bars and hot bars at Whole Foods stores in the above states was also impacted, so if you’ve got salad bar items with spinach, toss them.
For all the other items, check your recent prepared item purchases against this list. There’s a lot of different salads, wraps, sandwiches and pizzas involved in the recall.
