Check your spinach: Some bags of Dole Baby Spinach have been voluntarily recalled by the company due to a possible salmonella risk, according to the Food & Drug Administration.

Only two specific types of Dole baby spinach are being recalled: A 10 oz. container with lot code W203010 (UPC code 0-71430-00016-8) and a 6 oz. bag with lot code W20308A (UPC code 0-71430-00964-2), according to the FDA.

The lot code can be found on the upper right corner of the 6 oz. bag and on the top label of the 10 oz. container, while the UPC code can be found on the bottom left corner of the back of the 6 oz. bag and the bottom label of the 10 oz. container.

“This precautionary recall notification is being issued due to a sample of Baby Spinach which yielded a positive result for salmonella in a random sample test conducted by the Department of Agriculture in Michigan,” said Dole in a statement.

No illnesses resulting from the recalled spinach have been issued at this time.

The products were sold at stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin, said the company, though they did not state which stores the product was sold. 

Both have an expiration date of August 5, so neither of them are longer sold in stores.
