If you purchased these products, do not eat them. Discard them or return to the place of purchase for a refund. If you ate any of these products, monitor yourself for the signs of listeriosis, the illness caused by the Listeria bacteria, for the next 70 days. That’s how long it can take for symptoms to manifest. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, persistent fever, aches, headache, and neck stiffness. Pregnant women may have just a mild flu-like illness, but listeriosis can cause stillbirth and miscarriage.
