Many people will be surprised at the health benefits of figs. In addition, the increase in use has attracted the attention of many people.

As CDC reports there has been a Listeria outbreak. By Nov. 17th there were already 11 people infected with this out break crossing over 6 states in the U.S.. Which could of been expected since there were sample testing for the last 4-5 years. As of recent data is showing that HMC Farms peaches, nectarines, and plums may be contaminated with Listeria and are making people ill. More reports may arrive because it takes 3-4 weeks if a persons sickness is directly from this recent outbreak. Whats even more scary is that some of these fruits even with the fact of the recall may still be in our homes if they were bought prior to announcements and recalls. Please be on the look out for HMC farms and Signature Farms "6359"  branded bags if they were bought prior to Nov 15th, 2023.
