What happened

Spartan Central Kitchen is recalling mixed fruit trays sold in Michigan and Ohio because FDA testing found harmful bacteria (Listeria) in the production facility. The recall affects products made between August 20 and September 10, 2012.

Who is at risk

This is mainly a concern for pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems, though anyone who consumed these trays could potentially be affected.

What to do

If you purchased these products with sell-by dates on or before the recall date, do not eat them—throw them away or return them to the store. Contact your doctor if you have symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or nausea after eating these products.
