A peach recall has been expanded to include loose peaches and peach products over possible salmonella poisoning, the CDC says. More than a dozen companies have recalled them, including Aldi, Target and Walmart.
Of the 78 reported cases of illness traced back to the potentially tainted fruit between June 29 and Aug. 3, 23 victims were hospitalized, the CDC reported. No deaths have been reported. Victims ranged in age from one to 92 years old. The agency is warning that more salmonella poisonings are possible."Illnesses might not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported. This takes an average of 2 to 4 weeks," the CDC said.
Public health and regulatory officials in several states and Canada are also investigating infections linked to the peaches.Salmonella poisoning can cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps between six hours and six days after exposure to the bacteria, according to the CDC, and last between four and seven days. People who are under the age of five, over age 65 and with weakened immune systems are more likely to experience severe illness.
