Listeria recall: peaches from Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Target, Food Lion, others

Listeria found in a packing facility caused a recall of peaches sold by the nation’s largest grocers, including Walmart, Costco, Kroger, Target and Food Lion.

Neither Albertsons stores nor Publix listed that their peaches were involved in the recall by Reedley, California’s Moonlight Companies.

Listeria infects about 1,250 people in the United States each year, according to the CDC, and kills about 172. Newborns, adults over 65 and pregnant women are most vulnerable to the worst from listeria, which can cause miscarriages and stillbirths. Most people suffer high fever, headache, symptoms similar to the flu and muscle stiffness.

Moonlight’s recall notice says affected Moonlight Yellow Peaches, Moonlight White Peaches, Moonlight White Peppermint Peach and Kroger Yellow Peaches were sold from Sept. 16, 2025 and Oct. 29, 2025, individually and in multipacks. If the packs or PLU stickers on individual peaches have “Washington” or “Organic” on them, they’re not recalled.

Recalled peaches in multipacks carry these lot Nos. on the packaging: 01 PCLC, 03PCAF, 106PCLF, 113PCAF, 113PCLF, 129PCLF, 134PCLF, 142PCLF, 150PCLF, 151PCLF, 159PCABA, 159PCABB, 159PCPG10, 20, 22PCAB, 22PCPG10A, 22PCPG10B, 22PCP8A, 22PCPG8B, 22PCPG8C, 23, 25, 30PCEN, 40LT, 40YP#3, 44PCLC, 44PCLCB, 45, 51PCLC, 51PCLCB, 86PCAF, 69PWPR or 79PWPRT.

Recalled individual Moonlight Yellow and White Peaches will have No. 4401 or 4044 on the PLU sticker.

Walmart didn’t list exactly which peaches it sold, but did say recalled peaches went to Walmarts and Sam’s Club locations in 46 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. States excluded were Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

Kroger sold the individual Moonlight peaches and, of course, Kroger Yellow Peaches. The recall portion of Kroger’s website says they also were sold by Kroger-owned chain grocers Ralphs , Dillons, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Mariano’s, Pick n Save, Metro Market, Baker’s, Gerbes, City Market, Fry’s, Food4Less, FoodsCo, QFC, and Smith’s.

Costco said it sold Moonlight Yellow Peaches as item No. 2475 from Sept. 25 through Oct. 22 with a pack date on the cartons of Sept. 16 through Oct. 18.

Food Lion said its individual yellow peaches have No. 4038 on the PLU sticker and No. 4401 on the PLU sticker for the white peaches.

Target said it sold individual white and yellow peaches as well as four-packs of the Peppermint Peaches.
