FDA issues recall of Private Selection brand frozen fruit
CINCINNATI — Bags of Private Selection brand frozen fruit have been recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration "out of an abundance of caution" for potential listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, according to the recall. Healthy individuals typically only suffer from milder symptoms like fever, headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
However, the organism can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled bags are specifically frozen bags of tropical mango chunks, a strawberry, mango and pineapple blend, classic fruit medley along with blueberries, strawberries and mangoes.
The bags were sold in several states, including Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, from November 6, 2022 through March 16, 2023.
Customers who bought bags that have been recalled can request a full refund from Kroger by calling 800.632.6900.
So far, no reported illnesses have been tied to the recalled fruit bags.
