A nationwide stone fruit recall has taken some peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots sold at Trader Joe’s, Hannaford, Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale Club off the shelves.

The fruit was part of a voluntary recall because of potential contamination with listeria monocytogenes but have not been linked to any illnesses, according to a release from Wawona Packing Co., the California company that packaged the fruit for distribution around the country.

The recalled fruit was packed and distributed between June 1 and July 12 and packaged with the label “Sweet 2 Eat.”

Eric Blom, a Hannaford spokesman, confirmed that the recalled fruit was sold at Portland-area Hannaford stores and has since been removed from the shelves. Signs have been posted at the stores’ produce and checkout areas, as well as online, alerting customers to the recall.

Catherine Eliot, 33, a Portland resident, said she had been buying peaches regularly at the Forest Avenue Hannaford supermarket but hasn’t experienced signs of illness.

“We can’t afford to buy everything at the farmers market,” she said Tuesday, adding that she still intends to buy peaches when they come back in stock. “It’s unavoidable.”

Another shopper at the Forest Avenue Hannaford, Ben Allen, said he had some nectarines at home and was planning to check the labels.

“We did eat one, and it was fine,” said Allen, 42. “In fact, the kids loved it.”

Listeria bacteria can cause serious infections in children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Short-term symptoms include high fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1,600 illnesses and 260 deaths occur in the United States each year from listeriosis.

Wawona does not know exactly which stores carried the fruit, because it was packaged and shipped to both retailers and wholesalers through distribution centers, said Amy Philpott, the company’s spokeswoman. The company issued the recall because it doesn’t know all of the companies that bought fruit from its wholesalers.

Philpott said she had neither a list of distribution centers nor the amount of fruit that was recalled. She said consumers should look for fruit with the label “Sweet 2 Eat.”

Customers have been asked to throw potentially infected produce away or return the fruit for a refund.

There have been no reports of people becoming ill from eating the fruit. As of Tuesday afternoon, officials with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention said the agency had not received any calls of potential illnesses linked to the fruit.

Brian Nick, a Sam’s Club spokesman, said the three Maine Sam’s Clubs — in Augusta, Scarborough and Bangor — carried the fruit, which has been removed from stores.

Nick said Sam’s Club, the membership-only retail and grocery store owned by Walmart, has sent out email alerts or called members who bought Wawona fruits to alert them to the recall.

Alison Mochizuki, a spokeswoman for Trader Joe’s, said the store on Marginal Way in Portland had removed all of the recalled fruit and put up signs near the cash registers and produce aisles to warn customers.

BJ’s Wholesale Club also sold the “Sweet 2 Eat” stone fruit, but a spokeswoman for the membership-only retail store could not confirm Tuesday that either of the two Maine stores had carried the recalled produce.

Traces of listeria monocytogenes were first detected on Wawona produce in Australia, prompting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to test for the bacteria, according to a Wawona statement on the testing results.

The FDA found three pieces of fruit that tested positive, but additional tests came back negative and all fruit packed after July 12 was found safe to eat. The facility was shut down, sanitized, then retested. All tests for listeria performed after the sanitation were negative, the FDA said in a statement.
