Plain-language summary
by FoodRecallsDB.infoWhat happened
Spartan Central Kitchen is recalling fruit cups (cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon) because bacteria called Listeria was found in the production facility during an FDA inspection. The recall affects products made between August 20 and September 10, 2012, and only distributed in Michigan and Ohio.
Who is at risk
Listeria can be especially dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, though it can affect anyone.
What to do
If you have this product, do not eat it—throw it away or return it to the store where you bought it. Listeria infection can take 2-3 weeks to cause symptoms, so contact your doctor if you develop fever, muscle aches, or other flu-like symptoms after eating this product.
