The fruit processing company Sunrise Growers Inc. has issued a voluntary recall after finding that pineapple in some of its products may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Wednesday (June 21).
The full list of recalled products can be found in the FDA's announcement. They include products sold at Walmart, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Target, Aldi and AWG (Associated Wholesale Grocers) locations in many states across the U.S. The potentially contaminated pineapple was provided by a third-party supplier that Sunrise Growers will no longer conduct business with, according to the recall.
