A second food recall has been initiated after a California-based fruit supplier discovered that some of its yellow and white peaches might be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause potentially deadly infections. Here’s the latest and what to know:
What’s happened?
On October 29, Moonlight Companies voluntarily recalled “California-grown conventional” yellow and white peaches due to a risk of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Some items were sold under the Kroger name, the company said in its announcement.
Listeria was found in the packing facility. To date, no illnesses have been reported. However, the impacted fruit was sold at retail stores across the country.
A day later, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published the recall notice on its website.
A second peach-related recall was later announced due to potential Listeria contamination. On October 30, Supreme Produce—whose supplier is Moonlight Companies—said it recalled one peach salsa product.
To date, no illnesses have been reported. The FDA published this second recall notice on Monday.
Which products are included in the recalls?
Recalled peaches were sold at retail stores nationwide between September 16 and October 29, 2025.
They were sold individually with PLU stickers or in multi-packs. Peaches with packaging or PLU stickers with the words “Organic” or “Washington” aren’t included in the recall.

What is Listeria?
Listeria infection is an illness caused by bacteria that can spread through contaminated food.
According to the Mayo Clinic, healthy people rarely become seriously ill from Listeria infection.
However, the disease can be fatal for unborn babies, newborns, and those with weakened immune systems. Pregnant women, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are most at risk for infection.
