A Kentucky-based distributor recalls frozen fruit that was sold there. Examine these codes.




If you like smoothies or adding frozen fruit to your cereal for breakfast, you might want to check your freezer to be sure none of the items there have been recalled. A voluntary recall of certain frozen fruit items was been announced by Sunrise Growers, a division of the global food corporation SunOpta, in connection with a probable listeria contamination of pineapple. As of June 21, no illnesses were connected to the voluntary recall, per the recall notification.


The brands, goods, and lot numbers to search for on the packaging are listed below, along with information about this potentially hazardous bacteria.


WHICH FROZEN FRUIT PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED?


The goods have been offered for sale in Walmart, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Target, and Aldi stores in Kentucky and other states.
