(NBC Chicago) — Grocery store customers in Illinois and nine other states are being advised to check their refrigerators after a popular peach salsa was recalled due to listeria.
According to a release from the Food and Drug Administration, supplier Moonlight Companies has issued a voluntary recalled of peach salsa sold under two different brand names to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
The products, the release said, were distributed in Kroger retail stores including Mariano's across Illinois, Colorado, Georgia Washington, Indiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arizona, Oregon and Michigan.
"The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes and, if eaten, could result in severe illness to those individuals who may consume this product," a post on Mariano's website said.
The salsa was sold in clear, plastic grab-n-go, 14 ounce or 16 ounce containers. The recalled salsas were sold under the brand names of Snowfruit Peach Salsa and Supreme Produce, the FDA said, with sell by dates of Oct. 29 and Oct. 30.
According to the FDA, the products are no longer sold in stores, but they may be in customers' refrigerators.
The white and yellow flesh peaches used in the salsa have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria, the FDA said. The peaches themselves were also sold individually and in packs at retail stores nationwide, and were also recalled, the agency said.
The impacted peaches had PLU stickers on them that said "Washington" and/or "Organic," the FDA said.
