Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled products were distributed throughout the United States and Canada. There have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the recalled products to date. This issue was discovered through routine testing at the manufacturing facility. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare professional.
