The USDA says Solata Foods has recalled its fresh spinach due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The fresh spinach was distributed locally in retail stores and have lot Nos. 40606 and 11006 on the package with an expiration date of June 20 and June 24 stamped on the side.

The FDA says no illnesses have been reported to date and the recall of the spinach comes after a sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Market Food Inspectors. A food laboratory analysis showed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a 9-ounce package of Bogopa “Fresh Spinach,” the agency said. Production of the product has been suspended, according to the FDA.
