Avon Heights Mushrooms Inc. recalls fresh spinach

Avon Heights Mushrooms, in full cooperation with the FDA, is recalling certain packages of fresh packaged spinach after a random sampling tested positive for E. coli. The brands include Krisp Pak 10-ounce bags, Better Brand 10-ounce bags and Avon Heights 4-2.5-pound bags.

During routine surveillance sampling, one package of Better Brand 10-ounce spinach tested positive for E. coli. The implicated packages have a “best if used by” code of DEC16 and codes DP 340 and T691.

No illnesses have been associated with this incident.

“Out of a preponderance of caution the company is recalling all packages produced on the affected day,” according to the FDA notice.

Refunds will only be given for the product with the above specified codes.
