Amy's Kitchen recalls products that could contain listeria- Ausia Jones

Recently Amy's Kitchen says a supplier reported that organic spinach could contain listeria. The California-based organic and natural food company said it wasn't aware of any reports of illness connected with its products, but was recalling them "out of an abundance of caution."Listeriosis, a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with listeria, primarily affects the elderly, pregnant women, newborns and people with weakened immune systems. An estimated 1,600 people become seriously ill each year; approximately 16% of these illnesses result in death. Cervical infections caused by listeriosis in pregnant women may result in spontaneous abortion during the second or third trimesters or stillbirth. Amy's Kitchen recalled multiple types of vegetable lasagna, tofu scrambles, spinach pizza, enchiladas, brown rice and vegetable bowls and stuffed pasta shells. This can be related the Pure food drug act passed in 1906 which was used to regulate these manufacturing goods.
