Frozen fruit products including cherries and blueberries sold at six major retailers have been voluntarily recalled for possible Listeria contamination, the Food and Drug Administration shared on its website.
The products, sold at Walmart, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Target and Aldi stores, were voluntarily recalled by Sunrise Growers Inc., a subsidiary of global natural food company SunOpta Inc. The company’s announcement of the recall was shared on the FDA website.
The products are linked to pineapple provided by a third-party supplier, the company said.
There is a potential for the products to be linked to Listeria monocytogenes contamination, which can cause infections in people, the FDA said.
The announcement instructed consumers to check their freezers for the recalled product, not to consume it and either discard the product or return it to the store for a full refund.
Consumers seeking information may email recall@sunrisegrowers.com or call (888) 490-5591 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Detailed information is also available on the FDA website.

One thing good about Costco (members) if there is something to be recalled, they email and send a notice in the mail.
GF was very ill this week after eating such foods from Trader Joe’s.
She’s OK now, but it was a little scary.
What can be trusted these days? Not very much.
Agree. That’s why I only trust the vendors I see on the street corners. The government wouldn’t let them operate unless it was completely safe for the public!
… my better half too from Whole Paycheck open salad bar .. you’re right – scary and not much can be trusted
Don’t worry bout anything I eat, otherwise you’ll never enjoy anything thinking you might get sick. Already ate some of this stuff, no big deal..
It goes to show food products are no safer at Whole Foods than Walmart.

And in other news, the same products you pay more for at Whole Foods are available at Walmart
