The FDA alerts major retailers about recalled stone fruit that was received by Publix, Walmart, and Aldi

The US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning on Tuesday regarding peaches, plums, and nectarines that have been recalled due to possible contamination. These fruits were sent to major merchants nationwide.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which most recently updated their statistics on November 21, have linked the stone fruit to a Listeria outbreak that has resulted in at least 11 infections in seven states, 10 hospitalizations, and one fatality. One pregnant woman fell unwell and went into premature labor.

According to the EPA, the nonorganic fruit was offered for sale both singly and in bags between May 1 and November 15 of both years prior. The recalled goods were distributed to Publix, Walmart, Sam's Club, Sprouts Farmers Market, and a few Albertsons and Aldi locations.

The FDA does point out that the fruit did go to businesses that might have frozen or rebranded it.

If any frozen peaches, plums, or nectarines are included in the recall, consumers should discard them. The recall does not apply to fresh whole peaches, plums, or nectarines that are presently available on store shelves.

Usually, a person contracts listeria two weeks after consuming tainted food. Pregnant women, persons with compromised immune systems, and those 65 years of age or older are more susceptible to serious disease from it. If you experience any of the following symptoms—fever, headache, stiff neck, exhaustion, muscle aches, loss of balance, or seizures—you should see a doctor.
