Nyblad Orchards recalled Golden delicious whole fresh apples in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Dec 14, 2017.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Nyblad Orchards Inc. initiated a voluntary recall of multiple varieties of whole fresh apples due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Domestic: Michigan Foreign/VA/DOD: None." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Kent City, MI. The recall covers 5278 units shipped of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jan 17, 2018), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
