Food Recall
💬
Listeria monocytogenes
Severity
No illnesses have been reported yet. Affected products come in a 1-pound, clear plastic packaging marked with lot code #241711 or #241721. Products were distributed to food banks, school lunch programs, shelters and consumers in Texas and Arizona.
Who's At Risk?
Pregnant women, young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. This is because Listeria is more likely to spread beyond their gut to other parts of their body, resulting in a severe condition known as invasive listeriosis.
Symptoms
Listeria infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn in pregnant women. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
