Salmonella Warnings Issued About Wawona Packing Co. Peaches Sold at Aldi and Target

By Josh Beckerman

Health officials investigating a salmonella outbreak have issued warnings about peaches supplied by California-based Wawona Packing Co. and sold at Aldi and Target Corp.

Aldi, which is recalling Wawona peaches in several states, said the peaches were also available through its partnership with Instacart. The Minnesota Department of Health said Target is removing Wawona peaches from stores.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that 68 salmonella cases in nine states have been reported, with 14 hospitalizations. The CDC said evidence "indicates that bagged peaches are a likely source of this outbreak." Many people with illnesses reported buying bagged peaches at Aldi, and the investigation seeks to "identify other retailers that might have sold contaminated peaches," the CDC said.
