Listeria Recall for Peaches, Plums and Nectarines
A deadly Listeria outbreak has triggered a recall for peaches, nectarines, and plums sold at Sam’s Club and the Albertsons family of stores. The fruit should no longer be on store shelves, but symptoms of a Listeria infection can take as long as 70 days to develop so consumers who consumed the fruit should monitor themselves for symptoms. They include:
- Headache, high fever, stiff neck, and other muscle aches
- Loss of balance, confusion, or convulsions
- Upset stomach or diarrhea
- Pregnant women can suffer miscarriages or stillbirths even if they only experience flu-like symptoms
The recalled peaches, nectarines, and plums were sold individually and prepackaged in plastic bags at stores nationwide including:
- Sam’s Club ( AL, FL, GA, LA, MS, SC, TX, and PR)
- ACME
- Albertsons
- Balducci’s
- Carrs
- Eagle
- Haggen
- Kings Food Markets
- Lucky
