FSIS discovered the issue during routine inspection activities that found Listeria monocytogenes on surfaces that the product came into contact with.
There are no confirmed reports of side effects from consuming these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should see a doctor.
Eating food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, those with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Rarely are people outside of these risk groups affected.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle pain, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and cramps, sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. Invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infections in the newborn. Also, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and those with compromised immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. People in the higher risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months of eating contaminated food should see a doctor and tell the doctor about eating the contaminated food.
FSIS is concerned some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be discarded or returned to the point of sale.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness reviews to verify that recalling companies are notifying their recall actions Customers will be informed of the recall and that steps will be taken to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers.
