Frozen Fruit Recall

Sunrise Growers Inc, a subsidiary of SunOpta Inc, has voluntarily recalled certain frozen fruit items. The recall concerns pineapple supplied by a third-party that may be tainted with listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes, an organism known to potentially cause severe, and occasionally fatal, infections in young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems, is the reason behind the recall.

These products have been distributed across Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Target, and Aldi. The public is advised to inspect their frozen goods for these items and either dispose of them or return them for a full refund. Visit fda.gov for a full list of recalled products and more details on this issue.
