The bagged peaches were sold under the Wawona brand name in 2-pound clear, plastic bags at ALDI stores in 16 states starting June 1st.
ALDI has voluntarily repatriated the peaches to the following states: Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Western Virginia.
Infections were reported in Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The FDA asks anyone who buys the peaches, such as restaurants, retailers and consumers, to throw them out.
People should clean and sanitize all surfaces in contact with the peaches to prevent cross-contamination, the FDA said, including cutting boards, slicers, countertops, refrigerators and storage bins.
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. Those under 5, those over 65 and people with a weakened immune system are more likely to have a serious illness.
