Frozen Spinach Recall: Minnesota Company Involved

A Listeria scare has prompted a frozen spinach recall, which includes products from a Minnesota company.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration says the spinach was sold nationwide under the Del Mar and Sno Pac brands.

Sno Pac is based in Caledonia, Minnesota.

What is Being Recalled?

The impacted products were sold at both retail stores and through distributors. Sno Pac Foods has suspended production of its spinach while it investigates the source of the Listeria contamination.

The two recalled the following information that can identify spinach products:

35-pound box of Del Mar Organic Frozen Spinach with lot codes 250107A, 250107B, 250107C, 250107D, 2501071, and 2501073, and an expiration date of Jan. 7, 2027.

What to Watch For

Symptoms of a Listeriosis infection include fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. While Listeria can infect anyone, children, elderly individuals, those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and their newborns are at an increased risk of developing serious and sometimes fatal infections.

To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. But consumers are advised not to consume the recalled products. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Medical experts also advise cleaning any surfaces that the contaminated spinach may have touched.

If you have questions regarding the recall, you can call Sno Pac Foods, Inc. at (507) 725-5281, Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Central time.
