ChowNow Raises $10 million; Amy's Kitchen Recall; More

APPS — ChowNow, an online ordering and marketing platform, has announced that it has raised $10 million in a new round of fundraising. ChowNow, which focuses more on the restaurant side of the business than GrubHub or Seamless, which take aim directly at consumers, will use the capital to expand its product offerings and offer support for catering. The L.A.-based service is expanding to serve restaurants throughout North America.

Tickets can be purchased and more information can be found here.

RECALLS — If you've recently purchased anything that contains spinach from the Amy's Kitchen brand of prepared foods, you will want to read this. One of the company's suppliers of organic spinach has revealed that some of its product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that causes Listeriosis. The disease, which attacks the central nervous system, is particularly dangerous to the young and the elderly, as well as those with weak immune systems. Amy's Kitchen claims no illnesses have been reported, but that they are recalling their products "out of an abundance of caution."
