Illnesses have not been reported in association with this recall. However, consumers who think they may have eaten the products before they became aware of the recall should monitor themselves for symptoms of a Listeria infection for the next two months as
Symptoms of a Listeria infection, called listeriosis, are similar to those of the flu and include severe headache, stiff neck, nausea and fever. Infants, seniors, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems including pregnant women are at heightened risk of listeriosis. Among pregnant women, listeriosis can cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
