What happened

Spartan Central Kitchen is recalling about 1,269 fruit cups containing cantaloupe and honeydew because FDA testing found harmful Listeria bacteria in the facility where they were made. The affected products were manufactured between August 20 and September 10, 2012.

Who is at risk

Everyone should be concerned, but pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face the greatest health risk from Listeria infection.

What to do

If you purchased this fruit cup product in Michigan or Ohio with a sell-by date on or before the recall date, do not eat it—throw it away or return it to the store. Contact your doctor if you've eaten this product and develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or gastrointestinal issues.
