Organic baby spinach, potentially contaminated with Salmonella, is being recalled after a random test conducted by the USDA.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and people who have a weakened immune system. In healthy people, it can cause fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and abdominal pain. In rare cases the organism can get into the bloodstream and cause more serious complications. The recall includes:
