Peaches are too fuzzy to eat.
Unless I missed it, the article doesn’t mention the source country(s) of the fruit.
Um, don’t you wash fruit because of this kind of possibility?
I don’t remember it being this bad when the illegals came here to pick fruit and weren’t interested in a free ride on the America Love Boat, Pinata.
I guess they don’t want to mention the country of origin?
I’ve considered buying peaches, nectarines and plums over the last few weeks but then looked at the country of origin. I am always hesitant about fruits and vegetables from other nations.
I will buy fruits and vegetables from foreign nations if there are little or no options available in the USA — bananas, avocados, limes, and maybe a few others. I prefer it not be for close to 3rd world nations too.
Does ANYTHING from South of the Border not carry cooties? Okay, Chile?
Just cook it... make pies and cobbler.
Our Central American fruit suppliers are poisoning us.

I never buy fruit out of season. And I don’t trust other countries’ (especially to the south of us where bribery rules all) labeling either.
That’s one thing I don’t buy at Costco. I find their fruit and veg are usually far more expensive than at most of the local mini-chains or farmer’s markets.
The stuff is good quality, but I’d rather buy local anyway.
We banned all these chemicals that were used as insecticides yet today we are importing from countries that still use them, just a side comment to this other concern
Peaches, nectarines, and plums. Hmmmm....Are they grown in the US at this time of year? I don’t think so. I, personally, avoid buying most food that comes from outside the US.
