Whole Foods is recalling salads, wraps and other foods containing baby spinach sold at stores in eight states because they may be contaminated with salmonella.

Salads, sandwiches, wraps and pizza, as well as any product bought from a Whole Foods salad bar or hot bar containing baby spinach through Jan. 23, are among the products affected, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The affected products – the FDA has a list online – were sold at stores in Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The products will be labeled with a Whole Foods Market scale label.

No illnesses have been reported at this time, the FDA says.

Products such as the Locavore Cheese Steak Wrap and Turkey with Spinach & Feta Sandwich (both sold in the Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island) have sell-by dates of Jan. 26.

Other products sold in Florida including Paleo Mediterranean Tuna Salad (sold in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York) and Chicken Enchiladas Dinner and Mesclun Mix with Candied Pecans & Sun Dried Cranberries have sell by dates of Jan. 27. A few items including Spinach Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad sold in Florida have a sell-by date of Jan. 28.

Whole Foods, in a recall notice on its website, notes that supplier Satur Farms of Cutchogue, New York, notified the grocer that it was voluntarily recalling Baby Spinach and Mesclun because it potentially could be contaminated with Salmonella.

Customers who purchased these products can take a valid receipt to stores for a refund. Consumers with questions can call 1-844-936-8255 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. CST, Monday-Friday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Salmonella causes about 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths in the U.S. each year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. Most people infected develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps within 12 to 72 hours after contact with the bacteria.
