“Consumers could potentially be cut or injured if ingested. To date there has been one complaint on the peaches and no complaints on the mixed fruits,” distributor Milky Way International Trading Corp. reports.

Milky Way International Trading Corp. also reported the jars of fruit have been pulled from Walgreens stores in its recall notice on the Food and Drug Administration website.

Consumers could still have the potentially dangerous products in their homes and are urged to check their cupboards for the jars of sliced peaches and mixed fruit, which have expiration dates in December 2017.

The recalled jars of fruit can be identified by the following label information:
