What is the Problem?
The recall was issued after the company notified the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) that a routine product sample was positive Listeria monocytogenes. No illnesses were reported.
Listeria Food Poisoning Symptoms
Eating food that is contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious food poisoning. The infection primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
