Any consumer in possession of the recalled item should contact the place of purchase to see if it can be returned for a refund. Otherwise, the items should be disposed of immediately and safely.

Health Risks
The recall notice did not say if any illnesses, adverse effects, or other reactions in connection with the consumption of 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 with symptoms of Listeria infection from the impacted products should contact a medical provider immediately, says leading nationwide Listeria law firm Ron Simon & Associates.
