HMC Group Marketing, Inc., operating as HMC Farms, has initiated a voluntary recall of peaches, plums, and nectarines sold nationwide in retail stores between May 1st, and November 15th, 2022, and between May 1st and November 15th, 2023.
The recall is due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, posing severe health risks, especially to vulnerable populations. While healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms, Listeria can lead to serious infections and even fatalities, particularly in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
The recall, prompted by an outbreak of Listeriosis with eleven reported illnesses, includes fruit sold individually or in consumer packaging. Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the recalled fruit, refrain from consumption, and dispose of it immediately.
