Risk of Listeria Contamination
Regular testing by FSIS found Listeria bacteria, which can make people sick, especially older adults, pregnant women, babies, and those with weak immune systems.
Listeria infection can make you sick with symptoms like fever, feeling like you’re going to throw up, throwing up, headaches & stiff neck. In very bad cases, it can be deadly or cause a miscarriage.
Thankfully, no one has gotten sick from eating the bad products. But people should still be careful and stop using them. Check to see if you have any of the products that could be harmful.
What to Do If You Purchased Affected Products
If you bought any of the products that were recalled, follow these instructions:
Do not consume the product.
Take the item back to where you bought it to get your money back.
Restaurants and institutions should also stop using these products and either give them back or throw them away.
If you feel sick after eating these products, see a doctor right away.
