Wegmans Announces Recall For Oranges And Lemons Sold In Local Stores
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Wegmans is recalling some oranges and lemons sold in local stores because they may be contaminated with listeria.
The fruits were sold between July 31 and Aug. 7 in Brooklyn and Harrison, New York, as well as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.

So far, no illnesses have been tied to this recall.
Wegmans contacted any customers who purchased the products using their Shoppers Club membership.
Customers are urged to return the items for a full refund. For more information, call 1-855-934-3663 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. or Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
