A California-based fruit producer, who ships to retailers including Kroger, Wal-Mart, and Whole Foods, has expanded an earlier recall of certain fruits to include all products packed at its facility due to possible health risk, the company said in an updated statement on Friday.

The earlier recall covered specific products packed from June 1 through July 12, while the most recent recall now affects all fresh whole fruit—peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots—packed at the company's facility between June 1 and July 17 as it has yet to identify the source of the contamination.
