Update: Recalled spinach was also distributed in Ont., Que., as well as Atlantic provinces

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency on Wednesday updated an earlier recall of Queen Victoria brand spinach, which may be contaminated with salmonella.

The earlier release indicated that the produce was distributed in the Atlantic provinces, but this has now been expanded to include Ontario and Quebec.

The Queen Victoria brand of fresh spinach was sold in 10-ounce (284-gram) packages, bearing UPC 0 33383 65201 6 and the best-before date of "DEC 07."

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product. The agency advises that salmonella bacteria can be present in food that does not look or smell spoiled.
