The Food and Drug Administration reports Green Life Farms has voluntarily recalled one lot of its 4-ounce containers of baby arugula because of the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.

The FDA said no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the baby arugula. The recalled products were available for sale at select Publix locations from May 31 and have a sell-by date of June 15.

The recall applies only to products marked with lot #LW15124. The product comes in a 4-ounce, clear plastic package marked with the lot code stamped on the top. The product is dated with a sell-by date of June 15.

Green Life Farms initiated this voluntary recall after routine testing by the company revealed the presence of salmonella in a single harvest of baby arugula, the company took immediate corrective action and additional harvests remain unaffected, according to the FDA.

Consumers who have purchased baby arugula marked with the affected lot code are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
