Wegmans Food Markets Inc. is among retailers recalling products sold this month due to potential listeria contamination affecting fruit from a California supplier.



Wegmans on Sunday recalled bakery products and fruit sold both individually and packaged in boxes and bags.



The fruit comes from Wawona Packing Co, which issued a voluntary recall after routine testing by the company showed the potential for listeria contamination, according to Wegmans and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Wegmans says the products were sold between July 1 and Sunday. Anyone who purchased the products is advised to discard the product at home and visit the service desk at the store of purchase and identify the product for a full refund.



Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, the FDA says. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.



No illnesses linked to this recall were immediately reported, the FDA says.
