Aldi Baby Spinach Recall: Contamination Warning for Shoppers
Hey everyone, I’ve got an important food safety alert that you need to hear. If you’ve recently picked up baby spinach or salad mix from Aldi, listen up—there’s been a major recall due to contamination concerns.
Food Standards Australia and New Zealand has issued a recall for several Fresh Salad Co products sold at Aldi stores in Queensland and parts of Northern NSW. The reason? They’ve detected Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) in these products, a dangerous bacteria that can cause serious illness if consumed.
Now, let’s break it down. The affected items include:
-
Fresh Salad Co Baby Spinach 120g – Use by March 28
Also Read: -
Fresh Salad Co Fresh & Fast Stir Fry 400g – Use by March 27
-
Fresh Salad Co Baby Spinach & Rocket 120g – Use by March 27
-
Fresh Salad Co Baby Spinach 280g – Use by March 30
These products have been sold in multiple locations, including Tweed Heads South, Ballina, Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Lismore, and several other towns across Northern NSW and Queensland.
Now, why is this a big deal? STEC infections can lead to severe symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. In more serious cases, it can even cause complications like kidney damage, especially in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
If you have any of these products in your fridge, do not eat them . Instead, return them to Aldi for a full refund. If you’ve already consumed any and start feeling unwell, seek medical advice immediately.
This is a reminder of why food safety is so important. Stay alert, check your fridge, and spread the word to anyone who might have purchased these products. Stay safe!
