Issue

Food – Microbial Contamination – Listeria

What to do

Distribution

The affected product is being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

What you should do

If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider
Check to see if you have recalled products

Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.
