Dole Recalls Spinach For Salmonella

On Thursday, October 15, 2015, Dole Fresh Vegetables voluntarily recalled bagged spinach after salmonella was tested positive by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural development. The FDA has said that bags with the codes A27409B and A27409A and a UPC number of 7143000976 are to be thrown out. The spinach was sold to stores in Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, salmonella causes around one million illnesses in the United States every year; 380 of said cases die. Most people who get sick recover, but first suffer for four to eight days with severe stomach pains, nausea, and diarrhea.
