Affected products come in 2/1 gallon cases with a date of production stamped on the side, the agency said.

All 33 people who developed salmonella poisoning after eating Tailor Cut fruit were residents in 4 healthcare facilities in Southeastern Pennsylvania, FDA said.
"We are particularly worried about food borne illness when it comes to people who are part of vulnerable populations," said FDA spokesman Peter Cassell. "This is something where we wanted to act very quickly."
