Amy’s Kitchen Recalls Popular Foods Due To Health Risk. Here’s How To Know Which Products Are Infected

Amy’s Kitchen, Inc. has volunteered to recall roughly 74,000 cases of products identified by the code dates and manufacturing codes listed in this notice. Amy’s Kitchen was notified by one of their organic spinach suppliers that Amy’s may have received a batch of spinach infected with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. Consuming food with the presence of this bacterium can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in mostly children and the elderly. In fact, 20-30% of infections are reported to result in death. Infection can also cause serious pregnancy complications such as miscarriage and stillbirth.

The products were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and Canada. Amy’s is not aware of any illness complaints at this moment and is taking these steps as a precautionary measure due to the recall notice they received from their supplier.

Customers who have purchased the products identified in the chart below are urged to dispose of them or return them to the store where they were purchased for an exchange/full refund.  Customers may also call Amy’s Kitchen at (707) 781-7535 [Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Pacific)].
