Moonlight Cos., a grower and shipper based in Reedley, announced a voluntary recall of certain peaches after concerns about possible listeria contamination. The recall covers selected conventional yellow and white peaches and includes some packaged items such as multi pack products sold under grocer brand labels. Retailers that posted recall notices include Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Sprouts and Trader Joe's.
The recalled fruit was sold between Sept. 16 and Oct. 29, 2025. National grocer recall notices were summarized in a MarketScreener and Dow Jones report that identified Moonlight Cos. of Reedley as the source of the affected fruit. The recall is an evolving food safety situation, and full lists and product codes are available through the MarketScreener and Dow Jones item referenced in national notices.
For Fresno County shoppers the recall is notable because Moonlight Cos. operates in Reedley, placing the source of the affected fruit within the Central Valley regional supply chain. Local consumers who purchased peaches during the stated date range are advised to check product labels at home. If the label or packaging matches recalled product codes or descriptions, shoppers should follow the guidance provided by the retailer. Options typically include discarding the fruit or returning it to the place of purchase for a refund.
Public health officials warn that listeria can pose greater risk to certain groups. Pregnant people, older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems are generally more susceptible to severe outcomes from listeria infection. Consumers who believe they may have eaten a recalled peach and who experience symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, nausea or diarrhea should consult their health care provider for guidance.
Grocery stores involved in the notices have issued their own customer guidance and return instructions. Shoppers who are unsure whether their purchase is included in the recall should check receipts, packaging and product codes and contact the retailer for confirmation. Because some of the affected items were sold as part of multi pack offerings, consumers should inspect all fruit in a package rather than assuming only loose fruit is affected.
Moonlight Cos. and the national grocers are continuing to update recall information as the investigation proceeds. Residents seeking the complete recall lists and specific product codes should consult the MarketScreener and Dow Jones report referenced in national notices and follow updates from their grocery retailers and local public health authorities.
