What’s the Problem?
This issue centers on a recall of 15‑count Member’s Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Packs—manufactured by Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions, LLC—after internal testing revealed contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Although no illnesses have been reported, the recall affects dozens of lots and use‑by dates. Although no lawsuits have been filed yet, we are actively investigating potential claims involving severe illness, hospitalization, pregnancy loss, or related medical costs [1.].
