A California produce company recalled bagged fresh spinach Wednesday after it tested positive for salmonella reports the Los Angeles Times.
There were no immediate reports of illness linked to the tainted spinach, distributed by Metz Fresh of King City, Calif. The recall comes nearly a year after an outbreak of another pathogen, E. coli, in fresh spinach killed three people and sickened an additional 200.
The recalled spinach was distributed throughout the 48 states and Canada and sold in retail and food service packages. The recall covers 8,118 cases of spinach, although the company said more than 90% of that was on hold and would not be released.
Although only a single sample from one of three packing lines tested positive for salmonella, the company said it moved to recall all the spinach packed that day as a precaution.
