The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a food safety alert linked to several fruits.

On Friday, November 17, the HMC Group Marketing, Inc., which does business as HMC Farms, voluntarily recalled peaches, plums and nectarines sold in retail stores between May 1 and November 15, 2022, and between May 1 and November 15, 2023.

The recalled fruit involves two pound bags branded "HMC Farms" or "Signature Farms", according to the CDC. It also includes individual fruit with a sticker that has "USA-E-U" and a number:

The company said in a press release that the fruit is being recalled because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

According to the company, healthy individuals who are infected may only suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In more serious cases, health officials say Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The CDC tells Fox News Digital that any businesses who still have the recalled fruit in stores should not serve or sell any of the fruit or food made with the fruit and follow the FDA's safe handling and cleaning advice. 

The CDC added that investigators are working to determine if any additional fruit or products made with these fruits may also be contaminated.
