Overview

  • The FDA declared the recall completed on August 7 after upgrading it to Class I, signaling a reasonable probability of serious outcomes.
  • Doehler voluntarily removed 21,552 15-count Member’s Mark freeze-dried fruit packs sold at Sam’s Club stores in 43 states between July 1 and July 25.
  • Internal testing by Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions found Listeria monocytogenes contamination before any illnesses were reported.
  • Consumers should discard affected packs or return them to any Sam’s Club for a full refund.
  • Listeria monocytogenes can multiply in refrigeration and poses heightened danger to pregnant women, young children, older adults and immunocompromised individuals.
