M.E. Thompson, Inc. is expanding its January recall of sandwiches because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria infections can be serious and sometimes fatal in the very young, elderly, those with weakened immune systems, and the chronically ill. The infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
