Country Fresh expands its recall due to Listeria monocytogenes

Country Fresh is extending their voluntary recall issued on October 2, 2020, to include various containers of “Freshness Guaranteed “cut and/or sliced apples, grapes, mangos, pineapples, and cantaloupe distributed by Walmart. The recall is a precautionary measure due to possible health risk from Listeria monocytogenes detected on equipment used in an area near where these products are packed. FDA discovered these findings during a recent inspection. The recall affects product codes of various fresh fruit items shipped directly to Walmart retail distribution centers and sent to select stores located in AR, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MO, OK, and TX. The products were packaged in various size clamshell containers (see photos). The “best if used by” dates are between October 3, 2020, and October 11, 2020. Country Fresh has not received any reports of illnesses to date. Walmart retail stores are removing the recalled product from store shelves and inventories immediately.  @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/country-fresh-expands-voluntary-recall
