Fresh From Texas recalls apple products

Fresh from Texas of San Antonio, Texas, is voluntarily recalling multiple products containing sliced red apples. The apple products are being recalled due to potential contamination with 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, the FDA said.

No illnesses have been reported to date. The product was sold by H-E-B stores in Texas.

Photographs of the recalled product can be found in the recall announcement on the FDA website.

The recall was the result of internal company testing which indicated the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes in two random samples of the same product, the FDA said. The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.

Customers who purchased the product can return the product to the store for a full refund. Customers with any questions or concerns may contact Fresh from Texas at (817) 690-2330 Monday- Friday 24 hours a day.
