Amy's Kitchen Proves Not All Food Recalls Are the Same

While foodbourne illness often makes us think of tainted meat or sketchy fast food, leafy greens are actually the most common culprits. It was potentially contaminated spinach that led organic food brand Amy’s Kitchen to recall 70,000 of its products this past weekend.

After Amy’s Kitchen was notified that one of its organic spinach suppliers may have provided the company with greens contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes — a bacteria known to cause serious infections in children, the elderly, and others with compromised immune systems — the brand announced that would voluntarily recall approximately 73,897 cases of select products.

A complete list of affected items can be found here, and the company has been very transparent in sharing the list with its followers on social media:
