Salmonella has been detected in Coles Baby Spinach, causing the supermarket giant to recall stock across all its ACT, QLD and NSW stores (excluding Lavington, Albury and Deniliquin).

The recall is for Coles Baby Spinach (60g, 120g and 280g varieties) sold in supermarkets, Coles Local and through Coles Online.

The affected products are:

  • Coles Baby Spinach 60g, use by 13 April 2022
  • Coles Baby Spinach 120g, use by 13 and 14 April 2022
  • Coles Baby Spinach 280g, use by 13 and 14 April 2022

The products have been available for purchase since 4 April 2022.

While quality testing detected Salmonella only in the 120g product, Coles said all three sizes were being recalled.

No other Coles pre-packed spinach or salad products are impacted by this recall.

Food products contaminated with Salmonella may cause illness if eaten, and customers are being warned not to eat this product.

The packets can be returned to any Coles supermarket for a full refund, while online customers can receive a full refund or credit by calling Coles Online Customer Care on 1800 455 400.
