The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Tuesday that peaches, plums and nectarines were being sent to major retailers across the country after being recalled due to contamination concerns.
Stone fruit has been linked to a listeria outbreak, causing at least 11 illnesses in seven states, 10 hospitalizations and one death, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which updated its data on Nov. 21. It is said that he did. A pregnant woman who became ill gave birth prematurely.
According to the agency, the non-organic fruit was sold individually or in bags from May 1 to November 15 last year and this year. Publix, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Sprouts Farmers Market, and some Albertsons and Aldi stores received the recalled products.
However, the FDA notes that the fruit also went to companies where it may have been frozen or relabeled.
Anyone with frozen peaches, plums, or nectarines should throw them away if their products are or may be subject to a recall. Fresh whole peaches, plums and nectarines currently on store shelves are not included in the recall.
Listeria infections usually begin about two weeks after someone eats contaminated food. Pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, and people over 65 years of age are more likely to develop serious illness. See your doctor if you have symptoms of Listeria infection, such as fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, stiff shoulders, confusion, loss of balance, or seizures.
The FDA and CDC are also investigating an ongoing salmonella outbreak linked to recalled cantaloupe products that has caused at least 99 illnesses and two deaths in 32 states.
