Affected product details

What caused the issue?

Routine internal testing by Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions, LLC identified the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in Member’s Mark Freeze-Dried Fruit Variety Packs. This pathogen can survive in low-moisture foods, making even shelf-stable products vulnerable if safety protocols aren’t strictly followed. The affected items were packaged in foil pouches and sold nationwide at Sam’s Club between July 1 and July 25, 2025. While no illnesses have been reported to date, the company initiated a voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution, with full FDA oversight, to safeguard public health.

Why listeria matters

Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe infections, especially in:

• Pregnant women (can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth)
• Elderly individuals
• People with weakened immune systems

Healthy people may experience:

• High fever
• Headaches
• Stiff neck
• Nausea or diarrhea
