Nationwide Recall: Member’s Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Pack
In a recent announcement, the concern for consumer safety has prompted Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions, LLC to issue a voluntary recall of its Member’s Mark “Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Pack.” The recall follows the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium known to cause serious health issues, during internal quality testing.
This recall affects products distributed to Sam’s Club stores across more than 40 states between July 1 and July 25, 2025, as reported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thankfully, as of now, there have been no reported illnesses related to this issue.
Understanding the Risk
Listeria monocytogenes is the pathogen responsible for listeriosis, a potentially severe foodborne illness. While healthy adults may experience only mild symptoms like fever and gastrointestinal discomfort, the bacterium can be particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.
Health organizations, including the FDA and the USDA, emphasize the importance of robust recall systems to ensure public safety and maintain consumer confidence. This underscores the need for routine testing to protect the food supply chain and consumers.
