Old Souls Farms, LLC, St. Paris, Ohio, has initiated a voluntary recall of greenhouse leafy green products following a positive test 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 recall includes the following greenhouse products: Arugula, Basil, Finstar, Green Bibb, Romaine and Spring Mix. Its bulk product has been affected by this recall, with sizes that range from 1 to 25 lb. clear bags. The affected lot dates of bulk product can be found here. If bought in bulk, the lot code is located on the case label.
