Cans of Kale, Turnip Greens Are Recalled
A South Carolina company is recalling almost 300,000 cans of kale and turnip greens because they may be contaminated with salmonella, a dangerous type of food poisoning, or other bacteria.
Recalled are the Glory Foods brand of kale and turnip greens, sold in 27-ounce cans throughout the country but primarily along the East Coast, said manufacturer McCall Farms of Effingham, S.C.
The recalled turnip greens bear the code “GK25/TGLC” on the metal cans; the recalled kale bears the codes “GK25/KBLC” or “GK22/CGLC.” They were shipped to stores in mid-December.
Consumers should not eat the recalled greens even if they do not look or smell spoiled, but return them to the place of purchase for a refund, McCall said.
The contamination came to light when a major grocery chain spotted swollen cans in a warehouse and alerted the Food and Drug Administration.
McCall said its quality-control department has found and fixed the source of the contamination, something the FDA planned to verify.
