Did you buy pre-cut fruit from Wegmans? Don’t eat it!

The company that manufacturers fresh-cut fruit for Wegmans issued a recall for certain fruit and dip products because of possible Listeria.

The recall was made because surfaces on which the containers are packaged contain Listeria monocytogenes. It is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people. Others with weakened immune systems can also be affected.

No illnesses have yet been reported, according to the USDA.

Fruit products that are part of the recall have labels with "best used by" dates between March 5, 2022, and March 23, 2022. Ready-to-eat dips have a "best used by"date between March 15 and March 31.
