Whole Foods issued the recall in response to an earlier recall by a spinach and lettuce supplier, Satur Farms of Cutchogue, New York.
Satur Farms announced a recall on January 23 after a random sample tested positive for Salmonella by the Florida Department of Agriculture and the New York State Department of Agriculture.
Whole Foods sold the recalled items in 8 states, including Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. No illnesses were reported when the recall was announced.
The recalled items are marked with a Whole Foods scale label and can be identified by information on the FDA recall notice.
Infections with Salmonella typically caused fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain for up to a week. In rare circumstances, the infection can spread to the bloodstream and become life-threatening.
