The Sprouts Farmers Market grocery chain is recalling conventional and organic frozen spinach manufactured by National Frozen Foods of Oregon, because a random test came back positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

The test showed the bacteria in the finished product, according to the company recall notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration. However, the notice from the Phoenix-based retailer did not say whether the testing was conducted by the FDA, Sprouts or the spinach manufacturer.
