To date, no illnesses have been linked to this recall. However, listeriosis, caused by listeria bacteria, can be particularly harmful to individuals with increased vulnerability, such as pregnant women, the elderly, children, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of this condition may include fever, muscle pain, headache, a stiff neck, confusion, balance issues, and diarrhea, among other gastrointestinal issues.
If you possess any of these products, it is advised not to consume them. The FDA suggests disposing of the items or returning them to the point of purchase for a complete refund.
