According to a Los Angeles Times report, a California company has recalled almost 2,000 cartons of spinach that have been found to contain salmonella bacteria.

The contamination was discovered during routine testing, and no illnesses have yet been reported.

The company responsible for the spinach is called Ippolito International and it’s located in Salinas, Calif. It has been in business since 2000, and is in good standing with all the food safety and handling statues in the state of California.

In healthy salmonella victims, the bacteria can lead to fever, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Salmonella can cause serious illness or death in children, the elderly and those with weak immune systems. If you are a salmonella victim, an injury lawyer in your area might be able to help determine if someone else is at fault and if you may be eligible for compensation.
