RECALL ALERT!  Publix is recalling a Tropical Fruit Medley Mix sold in the produce department because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Publix Super Market

Jacksonville, Florida (WLTX) -- Publix Super Markets is recalling their Publix Tropical Medley Mix because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Publix received notification of the potential contamination from their supplier of dried apricot. The 5.7oz clear plastic containers of the mix were sold from Publix retail produce departments in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and North Carolina with a UPC of 41415-08586. All use by dates are being recalled.

Consumption of products containing Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Consumers who have purchased the product may return the product to their local store for a full refund. Publix customers with additional questions may call our Consumer Relations department at 1-800-242-1227.
