Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Old Souls Farms LLC has recalled approximately 10,316 units of arugula, basil, finstar, green bibb, romaine, and spring mix after testing found Listeria monocytogenes in rainwater that came into contact with the produce. The recall affects various package sizes including 1-oz, 4-oz, 5-oz clamshells, and bulk bags up to 25 lbs, as well as living plants in plastic sleeves. These products were distributed to retail stores and food service providers in Ohio and Kentucky between May and July 2021.

Risk

The produce may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator and pantry for Old Souls Farm brand Arugula, Basil, Finstar, Green Bibb, Romaine, or Spring Mix products.
  2. Identify affected Arugula by looking for Lot codes ending in '.AR.' or Julian dates 174, 175, 176, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 201, 202, or 203 on the bottom of clamshells, with Best By dates between 7/4/2021 and 7/31/2021.
  3. Identify affected Basil by checking for Lot codes ending in '.BS.' or Julian dates 174 through 203, with Best By dates ranging from 7/1/2021 to 7/28/2021.
  4. Identify affected Finstar (.FS.), Green Bibb (.GB.), Romaine (.ROM.), and Spring Mix (.SM.) by checking for the same Julian date range (174-203) and Best By dates between 7/4/2021 and 7/31/2021.
  5. If you have any of these products, do not consume them; instead, return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of them immediately.
  6. If you have consumed these products and are experiencing symptoms of Listeria infection, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
