Lidl branded Frozen Chopped Spinach has been recalled due to potential Listeria contamination.

The 12-ounce poly bags of recalled spinach have a best by date of 09/10/23 and are marked with lot # R17742 or R17963 on the back of the poly bag.

The product was distributed in Lidl retail stores in GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, DE, NY, NJ, and PA.

According to the recall notice on the FDA website, "The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in 12-ounce packages of Lidl Frozen Chopped Spinach. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem."

The product has "the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and 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 recall indicates.
