If you buy pre-washed greens for easy meals, you might want to check your fridge: BrightFarms just announced a voluntary recall of baby spinach and salad kits for potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. You can find the recall announcement on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) website.
Listeria is a bacteria that can cause serious harm or may be fatal to young children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems. It can also cause miscarriage and stillbirths. According to the FDA, there haven't been any confirmed reports of illness associated with this recall.
The recalled products come from spinach grown by a New Jersey-based farm and supplier for BrightFarms. They are sold at retailers such as Food Lion, Kroger, Wegmans, Giant, and more in seven states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The five recalled products, with "best-by" dates through January 20, 2024, are:
- 3.50-oz BrightFarms Baby Spinach: UPC Code 8-57062-00492-3
- 6.35-oz BrightFarms Mediterranean Crunch Kit: UPC Code 8-50051-82501-1

- 5.85-oz BrightFarms Southwest Chipotle: UPC Code 8-50051-82500-4
You can find the UPC Code on the bottom right corner of the package. No other BrightFarms products were recalled.
