Nectarine Free-for-All: California Farmer Clears 182,000 Pounds Amid Legal Battle

An embattled California Central Valley farmer gave away more than 125,000 pounds of nectarines to prevent waste after a dispute with Giumarra over ownership, sparking a community-led effort that drew more than 6,000 visitors and distributed about 182,000 pounds of fruit. The giveaway was temporarily halted for safety; Mora says he grew the crop himself and is suing Giumarra for fraud while pursuing his own breach-of-contract claims, with a trial set for July 20. Giumarra has issued a cease-and-desist; a GoFundMe supported Mora's legal fund.

CDC Warns of Listeria Outbreak in Peaches, Nectarines, and Plums

The CDC has issued a food safety alert linking peaches, nectarines, and plums to a Listeria outbreak. HMC Farms voluntarily recalled the fruits sold between May 1 and November 15, 2022, and between May 1 and November 15, 2023. The recall includes two-pound bags branded "HMC Farms" or "Signature Farms" and individual fruits with specific stickers. Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially fatal organism, can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable individuals. The CDC advises consumers to avoid consuming the recalled fruits, clean affected surfaces, and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms. Investigations are ongoing to determine if other fruit or products made with these fruits may also be contaminated.
