Fruit Fresh Up, Inc. is recalling 470,784 units of various fresh-cut fruit and vegetable products, including watermelon chunks, pineapple spears, melon trios, and fruit/veggie platters. The recall was initiated because the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. These items were sold under several brand names including Wegmans, Fresh Harvest, Tops, Lexington Co-op, and EDU Kids in New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania with 'Best if Used By' dates ranging from March 5, 2022, to April 16, 2022. Consumers should return any remaining product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Full refund at place of purchase.
