The hazard: Listeria contamination

Because the organism here is Listeria, the recall is about where the food has been rather than how it looks today. Treat an affected pack as contaminated even if it is sealed and in date.

What the notice says: Sno Pac Foods of Caledonia, MN, is recalling Del Mar 35 LB Bulk Organic Frozen Spinach and Sno Pac10 oz Organic Frozen Cut Spinach because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes , an organism which can cause serious or sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Why it matters: Listeria monocytogenes is unusual among foodborne bacteria because it keeps growing at refrigerator temperature. A contaminated pack does not become safer for sitting in the cold, and it will look, smell and taste completely normal.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Listeriosis is mild or silent in most healthy adults, but it is serious for pregnant people, newborns, adults over 65 and anyone whose immune system is suppressed. The CDC describes intestinal illness as diarrhoea and vomiting, and invasive illness as fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance or convulsions. In pregnancy it can cause miscarriage, stillbirth or infection in the newborn even when the parent feels only mildly unwell. Symptoms can start within a day or not appear for weeks, so tell any doctor you see that you ate a recalled product and give them the date.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

Frozen Spinach

What the company announced

Sno Pac Foods of Caledonia, MN, is recalling Del Mar 35 LB Bulk Organic Frozen Spinach and Sno Pac10 oz Organic Frozen Cut Spinach because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes , an organism which can cause serious or sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The recalled Frozen spinach was distributed nationwide in retail stores and through distributors.

The product comes in a 35 LB box with lot codes 250107A, 250107B, 250107C, 250107D, 2501071, and 2501073, with exp 1/7/27 or a 10-ounce, poly retail package marked with lot codes SPM1.190.5 with best by 7/9/27, SPC1.160.5 with best by 6/9/27, SPC2.160.5 with best by 6/9/27, and SPM1.097.5 with best by 4/7/27.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

This recall has been initiated due to possible Listeria monocytogenes . A bulk case of spinach from our supplier was tested and found positive for Listeria monocytogenes and was of the same lot code we used to repack the Sno Pac Organic Frozen Cut Spinach into 10 oz packages.

The production of the product has been suspended while the company continues to investigate the source of the problem.

Consumers who have purchased Sno Pac 10 ounces of Organic Frozen Cut Spinach or Del Mar 35 LB Spinach are urged to dispose of the product, or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (507) 725-5281, Monday - Friday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

What to do about Listeria

Sno Pac/Del Mar — Because the organism here is Listeria, the recall is about where the food has been rather than how it looks today. Treat an affected pack as contaminated even if it is sealed and in date.

  1. Do not eat it and do not open a sealed pack to inspect it — opening it only spreads the bacteria around your kitchen.
  2. If anyone in the household is pregnant, over 65 or immunocompromised, call a clinician for advice even if nobody feels ill. That conversation is quick and it is the whole point of a Listeria recall.
  3. Photograph the label, the lot code and the date mark before the pack leaves the house — that picture is what a refund claim runs on.
  4. Throw it out in a sealed bag, or return it to the store. Either is accepted; what matters is that nobody else eats it.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased Sno Pac 10 ounces of Organic Frozen Cut Spinach or Del Mar 35 LB Spinach are urged to dispose of the product, or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
