If you buy pre-washed greens for easy meals, you might want to check your fridge: BrightFarms just announced a voluntary recall of baby spinach and salad kits for potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. You can find the recall announcement on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) website.
