Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-0616-2015) was formally reported on December 17, 2014, with the manufacturer initiating the action on July 18, 2014. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. Wawona Packing Company is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Cutler, CA. Federal records indicate 2.2 millions boxes (20 lbs per box) estimated since 6-2014 units are affected, placing this recall in the million-unit bracket that typically triggers nationwide consumer alerts and retailer sweeps.

The documented reason for this recall is: Certain lots of whole peaches (white and yellow), nectarines (white and yellow), plums and pluots packed between June 2 and July 12, 2014 may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide distribution including Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Columbia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Australia, India, Mexico, Philippines, Brazil, Hong Kong, Ecuador and Manila. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Food. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 12 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
