If you have purchased this product, throw it away or return to the place of purchase for a refund. If you ate this product, monitor yourself for the symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes food poisoning for the next two months, because that’s how long it can take before symptoms appear. Those symptoms include fever, flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, loss of balance, upset stomach, or diarrhea. Pregnant women may only be very mildly ill, but listeriosis can cause miscarriage or stillbirth.
