Recall of bagged spinach now affects Pa., N.J.

RALEIGH, N.C. - A recall of bagged spinach prompted by tests in North Carolina has expanded to additional states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and product brand names. Lancaster Foods of Jessup, Md., announced on Friday the voluntary recall includes spinach sold under the names Krisp-Pak, Lancaster Fresh, Giant, and America's Choice. The produce is sold in 8-, 10- and 12-ounce packages with "best enjoyed by" dates of June 19 through 27. The recall also includes spinach sold in North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. In tests this month, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services found Listeria monocytogenes in samples.
