Why the Recall Was Issued

According to Sno Pac Foods, the issue was identified after a bulk batch from a supplier tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, according to the FDA. The affected lot was later used in repackaging the Sno Pac 10-ounce frozen spinach. Production has been temporarily halted as the company works to determine the source of contamination.

Consumers who purchased the affected products should be thrown away or or return them to the store for a full refund.
