Helados La Tapatia recalls Pineapple Fruit Bars due to Listeria monocytogenes found on food contact surfaces. 21 of 50 samples tested positive. Consumers should check UPC codes and stop using affected products.
FDA environmental sampling found 21 of 50 positive for Listeria monocytogenes, 11 of these on food contact surfaces.
