Frozen fruit recalled due to possible listeria outbreak

Sunrise Growers has recalled multiple frozen fruit products distributed to Walmart, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Target, Aldi and AWG stores

Time to check your freezers: there’s another listeria outbreak.

Sunrise Growers has voluntarily recalled multiple frozen fruit products which were distributed to Walmart, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Target, Aldi and AWG stores across the United States beginning in the fall of 2022, according to the Food and Drug Administration’s website.

The listeria contamination is linked to pineapple from a third-party supplier, per the FDA, but that doesn’t mean only pineapple is affected. Fruit blends, as well as individually packaged fruits like strawberries and blackberries, are also considered potentially contaminated. The specific codes for what foods should be tossed can be found on the FDA’s website.

This is the second major recall of frozen fruit this month. Frozen strawberries were tied to a hepatitis A outbreak.
