UPDATE 3: LISTERIA OUTBREAK LINKED TO PEACHES, NECTARINES & PLUMS IS DECLARED OVER
10 People Hospitalized & 1 Dead.
JAN 30, 2024
💬
Listeria monocytogenes
Severity
10 hospitalized and 1 reported dead across 7 states. Recalled fruit is past expiration and no longer available for sale in retail stores but could have been frozen by consumers. Fresh whole peaches, plums, and nectarines currently available for sale at retail are not included in this recall. Affected products were sold under multiple brands nationwide between May 1 - Nov 15, 2022 and May 1 - Nov 15, 2023. Check your freezer and discard if you have any at home.
Who's At Risk?
Pregnant women, young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. This is because Listeria is more likely to spread beyond their gut to other parts of their body, resulting in a severe condition known as invasive listeriosis.
Symptoms
Listeria infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn in pregnant women. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
