No illnesses have been reported, but the products are being recalled as a safety precaution. Foods contaminated with the bacteria can cause serious health risks if consumed.
“Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, “listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.”
If you have any of these products in your freezer, return them to the store for a refund.
