Fresh peaches sold loose and in bags across the country — including Utah — are being recalled because the products could possibly be contaminated with Salmonella, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.

Prima® Wawona, a Fresno, California company, is voluntarily recalling the peaches distributed and sold in supermarkets including Target, Walmart and Kroger, the latter owns Smith’s Food & Drug Stores in Utah.

Anyone who has the recalled product should not eat it. It should be disposed of or returned to the place of purchase for a refund, officials said.

In early August, California-grown onions were recalled after reports of possible salmonella poisoning. “A total of 869 ill people have been reported from 47 states, including 116 people who have been hospitalized,” the CDC said. No deaths have been reported.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Prima® Wawona is recalling all of its bulk/loose peaches distributed and sold from June 1 through Aug. 3 and its bagged Wawona and Wawona Organic peaches distributed and sold from June 1 through Aug. 19.

The bagged peaches have the following product codes, listed at the bottom of each package:
