BrightFarms has issued a voluntary recall of spinach grown by its supplier, Element Farms. This decision comes after routine sampling revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, emphasizing BrightFarms’ commitment to quality and accountability. The affected products, distributed across seven states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia), pose potential health risks, particularly to vulnerable individuals. While no illnesses have been reported, the recall underscores the importance of stringent food safety measures.
The products come in 4-oz, clear, plastic containers. Information about the “best by” date, UPC, and facility code can be found at the bottom of the package. Pictures to assist customers in identifying the recalled products are found at the end of this announcement. You can learn more about the recall through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website.
