Peaches may be a perfect stone fruit for summer, but one California-based purveyor has pulled its products due to a multistate Salmonella outbreak.
Prima Wawona issued a voluntary recall of peaches distributed and sold from June 1 through August 3 as a precaution in connection with a Salmonella outbreak under investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that is suspected to have caused the illness.
"Epidemiologic evidence indicates that peaches are the likely source of this outbreak," the CDC reported. "As of August 19, 2020, CDC is reporting a total of 68 cases across nine states. FDA’s investigation to identify a source of contamination is ongoing."
The Fresno, Cal., company has recalled its bulk and loose peaches distributed and sold from June 1 through August 3 along with its bagged Wawona and Wawona Organic peaches that were distributed and sold from June 1 through August 19, the FDA announced.
Both the FDA and the CDC recommend any customers who purchased the potentially affected produce before August 3, which were distributed to ALDI, Target, Kroger stores, Walmart and Wegmans, discard and not eat the fruit.The bagged peaches in question contain the following product codes:
Wawona Peaches – 033383322001
Wawona Organic Peaches – 849315000400
Prima Peaches – 766342325903
Organic Marketside Peaches – 849315000400
Kroger Peaches – 011110181749
Wegmans Peaches – 077890490488
The bulk/loose peaches supplied by Prima Wawona are sold in grocery stores in a variety of formats, typically bins where consumers may select their own fruit and may have the following stickers with PLU numbers on them: 4037, 4038, 4044, 4401, 94037, 94038, 94044, 94401.
The FDA noted that "not all peaches with these PLU codes are supplied by Prima Wawona," so if consumers are not sure of the brand or variety to contact the retailer or throw them out.
