If you purchased any of the recalled products, discard them immediately. If you ate any of the recalled products, monitor yourself for Listeria monocytogenes food poisoning for the next two months. The symptoms of listeriosis may not appear for 70 days after exposure. Those symptoms include flu-like fever and muscle aches, upset stomach or diarrhea, stiff neck, headache, loss of balance, confusion, or convulsions. Pregnant women, who may suffer a miscarriage or stillbirth with listeriosis, may have only very mild flu-like symptoms. If you do get sick, see your health care provider immediately.
