Simply Balanced Organic Chopped Spinach sold at Target, recalled due to deadly Listeria

Superior Foods, Inc., has issued a recall. They may have received organic spinach with the possible presence of 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 product was distributed nationwide at Target retail stores.
