PROVIDENCE, RI — lēf Farms of Loudon, N.H. has issued a Spice greens E. coli recall for a single lot of its packaged salad greens, the Rhode Island Department of Health announced this morning.

There have been no reports of illness related to these products.

The recall, originally posted to the FDA’s website, concerns “Spice” Packaged Salad Greens with a “best by” date 5/5/23, lot number SP10723- 1RGH1, UPC 8 50439 00709 1, produced in the company’s Loudon, NH greenhouse due to a potential with Escherichia coli 0157:H7 (E. coli) bacteria.

RIDOH reports the recalled product was distributed to Hannaford and Market Basket stores in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and New York. The recalled product comes in a four-ounce, clear, plastic, clam shell-shaped container. Date, lot number, and UPC are on the bottom of the package. lēf Farms “Spice” is the only product impacted. No other products are being recalled, the department reports.

According to RIDOH, E. coli causes a diarrheal illness, often with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. The condition can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
