Arugula sold at major supermarket chain recalled over possible salmonella contamination

The supermarket chain that has been selling the recalled baby arugula products is Publix. The baby arugula products were sold at select Publix stores and were recalled after salmonella was detected during routine testing4. Florida-based Green Life Farms issued the voluntary recall of one lot of its 4-ounce containers "because they have the potential to be contaminated" with the bacteria, according to the notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recalled products have been sold at select Publix locations since May 31 and are still within the June 15 sell-by date.

Upon detecting the presence of salmonella in their arugula, Green Life Farms took immediate corrective action. This involved conducting a voluntary recall of one lot of its 4-ounce containers of Baby Arugula, as they had the potential to be contaminated with the bacteria1. The company notified the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the issue and the recall, which subsequently led to the FDA posting a notice about the recall. Green Life Farms also stated that they have taken steps to ensure that additional harvests remain unaffected. The company has provided contact information for customers with questions and has urged consumers who have purchased the affected lot to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
