If you bought this product, do not eat it, even if you plan to cook it. The potential for cross-contamination with other foods that are eaten uncooked exists. You can throw the mushrooms away in a secure garbage can so other people can’t get to it, or you can take it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
You should clean out your refrigerator with a mild bleach solution after you discard the mushrooms, since this pathogen can grow at temperatures below 40°F. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after cleaning and after touching this product.
If you ate this product, monitor your health for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days. Symptoms include a high fever, stiff neck, severe headache, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. Pregnant women may think they have the flu, but this infection can cause miscarriage and stillbirth as well as premature labor and infection in the newborn. If you do get sick, see your doctor as soon as possible.
