Sam's Club is recalling certain Member's Mark freeze-dried fruit products after tests found possible listeria contamination, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on July 31.
A recall has been issued by Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions in Cartersville, Georgia, for 15-count boxes of Member's Mark Freeze-Dried Fruit Variety Packs. If you have one, it's a good idea to check for more details.
These were sold at Sam's Club stores from July 1 to July 25, 2025, and could carry the harmful bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious infections.
According to USA Today, the recalled fruit packs have a UPC code of 1 93968 50900 2 and best-by dates ranging from June 24 to July 25, 2027.
They come packaged in foil pouches inside corrugated boxes, with lot numbers and expiration dates printed on the bottom.
Listeria infections can be very dangerous, especially for young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weak immune systems.
Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and seizures, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Healthy individuals might only experience mild symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
