SHOPPERS who went to a Sam’s Club last month have been warned to check their cupboards for a recalled snack.

The shelf staple was found to have a stomach-churning organism that can cause fatal infections.

The US Food and Drug Administration and Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions recalled the Member’s Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Pack on July 30.

Health officials said the fruit could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can put the lives of children and pregnant women at risk.

Listeria infections spread through foods, and most often start in contaminated soft cheeses, deli meats, or dairy products.

Foods that aren’t pasteurized are especially subject to the organisms.

People in good health who catch the infection might experience symptoms like a high fever, intense headache, stiffness, nausea, stomach pain, and diarrhea for a limited period.

However, young children, frail, or elderly people could die from complications, the FDA said.

Pregnant women could also have miscarriages and stillbirths if they accidentally consume the contaminated snacks.

Sam’s Club has recalled all Member’s Mark 15-count dried fruit packs with use by dates from June 24, 2027, to July 25, 2027.

The products were all distributed between July 1 and July 25 at Sam’s Clubs in 43 states.

Anyone who has the item in their home should not eat it.

Instead, they can visit their local Sam’s Club and return it for a full refund.

COSTCO RECALL

Sam’s Club isn’t the only major chain that has announced recalls recently.

In July, Costco announced that a commonly used beach product should be thrown out over fingertip amputation concerns.

The company stated that the Igloo 90 Qt Flip & Tow Rolling Cooler can potentially cause hand injuries because of a serious defect in the tow handle.

How to handle product recall

FOOD Safety experts insist that shoppers shouldn’t panic if they’re affected by a recall, as many are harmless.

However, consumers should take each warning seriously and follow the necessary steps to protect themselves.

Oftentimes, food manufacturers issue recalls as a precautionary measure, so there likely isn’t a foodborne illness hiding in your pantry.

However, even if the recall is merely a precaution, shoppers should always stay safe and not consume the affected items.

Experts advise people to keep a product closed if it hasn’t been opened, and never feed it to a pet or donate it to food banks.

Anyone who has handled or opened an affected item should wash their hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for 20 seconds.

Read the recall closely for specific instructions on how to get rid of the food item.

Typically, the brand will ask consumers to return the recalled product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.

Sometimes shoppers will also be asked to throw it away so that no one else can eat it.

This came after the US Consumer Product Safety Commission received 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including bone fractures and lacerations.

The recall affected a massive 1.1 million coolers.

Meanwhile, another kitchen item sold at Walmart, Target, and Home Depot has been deemed hazardous.

And there are fears that a different pantry favorite was contaminated with steel.

Consumers should know not to panic if a recall is announced, as it’s usually a precaution.

However, they should always get rid of the item, even if they think that consuming it is safe
