Peaches, plums, and nectarines recently recalled nationwide following an outbreak of listeria were sent out to multiple major retailers across the country, as well as internationally in Canada and Mexico, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

A public notice shared by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier this month said the stone fruit had been linked to a multistate outbreak of listeria monocytogenes infections.
