A California farm has recalled peaches, plums, and nectarines in several states after nearly a dozen people became sick from eating the fruit, the Food and Drug Administration announced Nov. 17.

HMC Farms, located in Kingsburg, California, about 90 miles north of Bakersfield, has voluntarily recalled its fruit sold in retail stores between May 1 and Nov. 15 in both 2022 and 2023, after the peaches were linked to an outbreak of Listeriosis in 11 people.
