If you purchased this product do not eat it, even if you plan to reheat it thoroughly. Throw it away in a sealed or double bagged container, or take it back to the place of purchase for a refund.
Clean out your freezer or refrigerator with a mild bleach solution after disposing the product. Listeria monocytogenes bacteria can grow at refrigerator temperatures. Freezing doesn’t kill it.
If you ate this product, monitor yourself for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days. Symptoms include high fever, stiff neck, headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Pregnant women may only have a mild illness similar to the flu, but listeriosis can cause premature label, stillbirth, miscarriage, and life-threatening infection in the newborn. If you do feel sick, see your doctor.
