I know a lot of people that buy their produce at Costco. We don't since there are only 3 of us, but darn for those that do.

I know a lot of people that buy their produce at Costco. We don't since there are only 3 of us, but darn for those that do. It was actually rare for me to get some there...and it makes me so mad because I really do like to buy it in bulk (& do at Sam's & BJ's...or a local place that has fresh stuff). You know... I don't know if it's just a NE Ohio thing, or what, but the two Costcos closest to me are just AWFUL for produce! Even if something LOOKS good & fresh & I flip it all over looking at it, there will 98% of the time be something wrong with it when I get home (the most common when I was buying were those multi-colored packages of bell peppers...WITHOUT FAIL they'd look fresh, then open the package at home, and voila! rotton spots on the inside sides that don't show.  It's like nothing is transported on a refrigerated truck and/or comes from the last place no one else wants it. --oh! the GRAPE TOMATO section is just nauseating, you can just SMELL the decomposition from afar. Even packaged DATED things like carrots with far off expiration dates have this mealy stuff on it. Obviously no one at Costco cares or they don't get thorough inspections from HQ, because it has been like this for a couple of years at both locations. |

The weird thing is I get an RSS feed for FDA & CPSC recalls and I am right on it, but I wouldn't have even blinked the way it was listed...it just didn't trigger if would be from there...glad to get the call (& slightly creeped out, lol) |

My Trader Joe's had a notice about the recall today and removed all the listed fruit from their shelves. The affected fruit it listed on their website linkI buy a ton of produce at Costco and have only had one problem with spoiled fruit (kiwi) and they were great about taking a return. |

We got the notice today from Wegmans which must have them really upset. They are such a great store, it must be extremely frustrating to have to call their customers (we got a robocall). And yes, we ate nectarines and peaches from there in the past couple weeks. DH and I keep watching each other to see if either of us falls over dead  . |

It's not where we buy peaches etc, but our daughter and family do buy from both Costco and TJs
They buy organic though.
I'm not sure if the recall covers organic- anyone know?

Wegmans message was about the fruit as well as bakery items that contained the fruit (pies, tarts, etc.)

I got the message too. Funny part is that everyone had already eaten the nectarines I purchased at Sam's Club and everybody raved about how good they were too.

And Wegman's for those who have them. Nice thing about Wegmans is that they will call/text/email you when you've bought something that has been recalled.

Yeah, I just got back from grocery shopping and the signs were up at Wegman's about the recall. I just bought and we ate Nectarines from a fruit/veggie market last night. I don't usually go there but I only needed a lemon and they were close. And the nectarines were so GOOD! Sigh. There's one left, but I threw out the stickers. Maybe I will pitch it to be sure.

I noticed that the recall is for fruit packed between June 1 and July 12, so any fresh fruit that someone purchased for eating out of hand would probably be long gone. (Around here, fruit that's still not fully ripe when purchased seems to spoil within just a few days.) However, fruit that was used for canning might be affected ... but wouldn't the canning process kill the bacteria?

I almost never buy produce from Sam's, but randomly did this week. Fortunately, it was pears.

You would think the listeria would be killed by baking the fruit in the bakery items. They must be trying to be extra cautious. I LOVE Wegmans!

I got an email from Raley's last week about their nectarines being recalled because of Listeria. We had already eaten them and and so far no one has gotten sick.

Wegmans is the only store on that list that we go to, but like others have said, with dates that far back, anything we bought from them was consumed already.
