Consumer Action
Consumers should search their homes for the affected products.
As with all food recalls, the items should not be consumed even if they smell or look safe to eat.
Consumers are advised to either return the recalled products to the point of purchase for a full refund or throw them away immediately.
Consumers with additional questions or concerns can contact the company at [email protected].
Health Risks
As of now, no illnesses or adverse reactions in connection to the recalled products have been reported.
Listeriosis, the infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes, is particularly dangerous for certain vulnerable populations. Pregnant individuals, people aged 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems are at highest risk. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, sometimes preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms. In pregnant individuals, listeriosis can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infections in newborns.
Consumers who are experiencing symptoms of Listeriosis should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
Commenting on this story, one national Listeria lawyer said, “More and more products are being added to these recalls over risk of Listeria contamination so it’s critical for consumers to stay alert for new updates. Consumers can stay informed by visiting sites like www.fda.gov or Food Poisoning News.”
