Fruit Fresh Up recalls products because of possible health risk

Fruit Fresh Up is voluntarily recalling from the market all fresh-cut fruit and vegetable products, as well as ready-to-eat dips, as listed at this link, processed at its Depew, N.Y., production facilities. The move is being made because of a possible health risk from Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism 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.

Products subject to the voluntary recall of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables are packaged in clear plastic containers with a tamper-evident seal and identified with a “Best if used by” date between March 5, 2022, and March 23, 2022. Ready-to-eat dips are provided in 7-ounce clear, plastic clamshell containers with a "Best if used by" date of March 15, 2022, to March 31, 2022.
