Recalled Product Description: Dole Baby Spinach
The recent recall includes a limited number of cases of six-ounce Dole Baby Spinach bags and 10-ounce Dole Baby Spinach clamshell.

Why the Baby Spinach Was Recalled
The voluntary recall was issued after a sample of the baby spinach product tested positive for Salmonella during a random Department of Agriculture test in Michigan. Salmonella can cause serious illness, with symptoms that include diarrhea, vomiting, fever and abdominal pain.
How To Tell If Your Baby Spinach Was Recalled
Look for the lot code and use-by date on the upper right corner of the bagged spinach or on the label located on the bottom of the clamshell. These include lot code W20308A (UPC code 0-71430-00964-2) or lot code W203010 (UPC code 0-71430-00016-8).
