Salmonella Outbreak: Peach Recall Expands To Wegmans, Target And Walmart
(CBS) -- First it was Aldi shoppers who were warned about a salmonella outbreak linked to bagged peaches. Now the FDA says tainted peaches were shipped to Wegmans, Target, Walmart and Kroger stores nationwide.
The multistate outbreak has been traced back to Prime Wawona as the likely source and now involves both bagged and "loose" peaches. The company is recalling loose peaches sold between June 1 to Aug. 3 and bagged peaches sold between June 1 through Aug. 19 because of possible contamination.
The FDA says shoppers who can't remember when they bought peaches supplied by Prime Wawona should throw them away.
