Alert: Spinach is in trouble again: California company recalls product due to Salmonella

ALERT/RECALL: Popeye is cringing as spinach lovers face another challnege to food safety...Ippolito International, a California distributor, is recalling two brands of bunched spinach after routine testing showed the products were contaminated with salmonella, according to an Associated Press report. Most of the cartons were packed under the "Queen Victoria" label and shipped to the following states: California, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and British Columbia, Ontario and Manitoba in Canada. The other brand is called "Tubby" and was sold in California and New York. If you have these products in your refrigerator, toss them or return them to the store where you bought them. Let's hope early detection and notification about food contamination will help prevent illness.
