Why Was Member’s Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Recalled?
The variety pack was recalled because of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The firm discovered the problem through internal testing of its products.
The CDC describes Listeria as bacteria (germs) that can contaminate many foods [3]. The CDC says infection is rare, but serious. The FDA notice calls Listeria monocytogenes an organism behind serious and sometimes fatal infections.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The FDA notice of July 31, 2025 says no illnesses had been reported to date for the recalled variety pack.
Listeria illness can cause fever, severe headache, stiff neck, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Muscle aches and fatigue are also named in the CDC symptoms guidance [4].
Anyone who bought a listed lot at Sam’s Club in July 2025 and ate the fruit may be affected. The CDC says higher-risk groups include pregnant women, newborns, adults aged 65 or older and people with weakened immune systems.
What Should Consumers Do?

Legal Options

People who became ill after eating the recalled fruit may speak with a lawyer. Keep the box, the Sam’s Club receipt, photographs and medical records. Save refund or customer service messages.
