The FDA reported that David Oppenheimer and Company I LLC (Seattle, Washington) recalled all one-pound clamshells of organic green kiwifruit from the US market because they can potentially be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled organic green kiwifruit is grown in New Zealand, exported to North America, and repacked locally for sale in one-pound clear plastic clamshells bearing the Zespri brand. The organic green kiwifruit subject to the voluntary recall was shipped between June 14, 2023, and July 7, 2023, and sold in clamshells at retail locations in FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MI, NC, NY, OH, PA, TN, TX, VA, and WI. The recall resulted from a routine sampling by the Kentucky Department for Public Health on July 7, 2023. Since being notified on August 3, David Oppenheimer and Company I LLC has worked with Zespri to trace the product through the supply chain to two grower lots and immediately ceased the distribution of organic green kiwifruit from the related grower lots as it continues its investigation in cooperation with the US Food and Drug Administration. No illnesses have been reported to date. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/david-oppenheimer-and-company-i-llc-voluntarily-recalls-organic-green-kiwifruit-due-possible-health
