The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the whole peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots are sold primarily the Sweet 2 Eat brand. The products, being recalled by Wawona Packing Company of California, may also show the Wawona or Harvest Sweet brand names. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/canada-recalls-california-fruit-for-possible-listeria-1.2714809

Credit goes to an upbringing where we were happy to eat anything, and damn the consequences. People of the world unite, and throw out your antiseptic sprays and solutions!

I ate my first pluot (didn't even know what it was) from a senior center on Friday a week and was desperately ill by Monday night (103 fever) I diagnosed norovirus, still my best bet because of the vomiting, but this Listeria scare has me thinking. P.S. Only yesterday I asked a grocer what the funny fruit was and he said "pluot" and I asked whether it was a cross between a plum and an otter...he laughed. I gather it was plum + apricot. From the one I ate, it holds no fascination for me, almost tasteless. Edited by Trotsky, Aug 8 2014, 05:12 AM.
