💬
Listeria monocytogenes
Severity
10 hospitalized and 1 reported dead across 7 states. This update includes additional stores impacted in other states. Affected products were sold under multiple brands between May 1 - Nov 15, 2022 and May 1 - Nov 15, 2023. Products were distributed and sold at Food Lion, Walmart, Sam's Club, Albertsons, ALDI, Sprouts & H.E. Butt Grocery stores in various states. Additionally, the recalled fruit was sold to other manufacturers who may have frozen and/or relabeled the recalled fruit for resale under another brand. Check your freezer and discard if you have any at home.
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 and stillbirths among pregnant women. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
