Ready Pac Spinach E. coli Recall Announced
An E. coli recall has been issued for hundreds of cases of Ready Pac baby spinach that could be contaminated, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Ready Pac Foods, Inc., an Irwindale, California company, is recalling the spinach because it could be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 after a random sample test conducted by the FDA came out positive for this harmful bacterium.
