The grocery chain Whole Foods on Wednesday announced a voluntary recall of numerous prepared food items containing baby spinach because of possible salmonella contamination.

Whole Foods said in a notice the potentially contaminated products were sold in eight states and contain baby spinach and mesclun from Satur Farms — a Cutchogue, N.Y., supplier that initiated the recall. Whole Foods is owned by Amazon, whose founder Jeffrey P. Bezos owns The Washington Post.

“The affected products, including salads, pizza, sandwiches and wraps, were sold at stores in Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. A complete list of the affected products, which have a Whole Foods Market scale label, is available online.
