I have never heard of anybody being diagnosed with listeria before, but I have defiantly been eating a lot of the fruit included in the article. My grocery store even put out a notice, and I saw it yesterday.
Nationwide recall of fruit includes Costco, Sam’s Club | KHON2

Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Anyone who has the recalled fruits in their possession should not consume them and should discard them.
No illnesses have been linked to this recall to date.
The suspected fruit can be returned to Costco for a full refund.
Sam’s Club for more information.
