Plain-English summary

United Natural Foods, Inc. is recalling multiple brands of frozen vegetable products. The recalled products include frozen mashed potatoes from Resers, roasted potatoes from Simplot, sweet potato products from Alexia, potato skins from Rite Stuff, spinach vegetable potstickers from Innovasa, and creamed spinach from Maple Ave. These products were distributed in Alabama and Mississippi.
