lēf Farms Salad Greens - Recall cancellation due to false positive
4 months ago
United States
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that a laboratory error incorrectly caused last week’s recall announcement concerning lēf Farms “Spice” Packaged Salad Greens. The products from lēf Farms are safe and the recall has been canceled. On May 5, a press release was issued regarding a potential contamination of Escherichia coli O157 bacteria of a specific lot of lēf Farms “Spice” Packaged Salad Greens. With the recall canceled, lēf Farms “Spice” is returning to store shelves in Hannaford and Market Basket in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. There is no longer any need for consumers who have purchased the lēf Farms “Spice” products to discard them or seek refunds from their place of purchase.
Upon being informed, lēf Farms voluntarily initiated a recall of the potentially affected products. Subsequent whole genome sequencing was conducted, which determined that the control sample and the lēf Farms sample were nearly identical, indicating that the initial lab results were inaccurate due to a contamination error within the lab itself. “I wish to apologize to lēf Farms, their customers and the public for this unfortunate event,” said Division of Public Health Services (DPHS) Director Tricia Tilley. While this situation is unprecedented, the staff will embrace all corrective actions to ensure it will not occur again.
The PHL has not experienced a false positive from routine testing that resulted in a voluntary recall in more than twenty years. DHHS is working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to confirm the source of the contamination and will implement necessary protocol changes to ensure it is not repeated. DHHS has been in communication with lēf Farms, the NH Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food, and the FDA. Based on the results of the investigation of the contaminated sample, the PHL will implement corrective actions to protect consumers, manufacturers and food producers, and the general public. This is a correction to the press release issued on May 4, 2023 with the headline: “lēf Farms Recalls "Spice" Packaged Salad Greens Because of Possible Health Risk.” Original Press Release.

I regret giving a good review for quality, I am constantly returning food to costco which leads me to the conclusion I need to stop buying their food. About a month ago I purchased the wild Pacific Cod which I normally do every couple of months. I... See More share it with my pups and while separating it to make sure there were no bones, I noticed there was what looked like a strand of fish on the counter. It was coiled up and it wasn't until I touched that I realized it was a worm. See the full kitchen counter shot with the worm to the left. I still have the specimen wrapped up in a plastic bag because I got to the point where I was tired of retuning food and needed to start complaining, enough already. Of course I discarded the entire piece and the other frozen piece left in the freezer BUT not before I had taken a bite out of it to make sure it was cool enough for my girls so praying to God I did not ingest any additional parasites that may have gone unnoticed :( This is one of many food complaints I need to share from Costco. The quality is just not there anymore. Even worse they are starting to put things like maltodextrin in their everything bagels (an industrial waste product from corn that causes a spike in blood sugar) as well as selling products with MSG. Read your labels and educate yourself on the chemicals we are eating everyday that are causing all kinds of health issues, now and down the road. Make it or buy it fresh is all I can say. See Less
