Consumers need to check freezers for specific frozen food products sold at several retailers nationwide. Sunrise Growers Inc., a subsidiary of SunOpta Inc., in Minneapolis, is voluntarily recalling frozen fruit products for possible listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The frozen fruit products are linked to pineapple provided by a third party, according to an announcement by the company on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website.
Consumers should check their freezers for recalled products and not eat them. The products should be tossed or returned to the place of purchase for a refund.

What is listeriosis?
Listeriosis is an infection caused by the germ Listeria monocytogenes. People can become ill with listeriosis after eating contaminated food.
The disease primarily affects pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
Listeria can cause serious and fatal infections in children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say.
"It’s rare for people in other groups to get sick with Listeria infection," according to the CDC.
If you are experiencing symptoms of listeria infection you should contact your health care provider.
According to the CDC, an estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis each year, and about 260 die.
Symptoms of listeria infection
The CDC says symptoms of listeria infection can be different depending on the person and part of the body affected.
Healthy individuals may experience high fever, severe headaches, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Symptoms usually start one to four weeks after eating food contaminated with listeria, but they can also start as late as 70 days after exposure, the CDC says.
Pregnant women
Typically, pregnant women experience only fever and other flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue and muscle aches. However, infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
Higher-risk other than pregnant women
Symptoms can include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions in addition to fever and muscle aches.
For recall information, consumers can call 888-490-5591 from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Mon.-Fri.
